Another one of those mid-grade, common-date SLQs. The obverse isn't remarkable, with those issues one the face, but I really like the reverse. What say you?:   |

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

i think it was boarder line 45 and if it was showing any luster at all it probably would have pushed

To me this is a textbook 45.

I'm frankly surprised that it didn't make 45. I like it.

It looks like a strong 45. Maybe it was net graded because of all the small oxidation spots in the obverse.
