numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11880 Posts	Posted 10/01/2023 10:47 am Thanks for the article HB. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. 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."

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/01/2023 4:23 pm Good article. Minor correction - the image is wrong for the 1891 pattern dime. You can see it here https://www.si.edu/object/10-cents-...nmah_1100102 It used the Liberty Seated reverse. One interesting thing about the pattern obverse is that the strong ear cartilage and pointy laurel leaf extending almost to the S were not on the original circulation obverse, but these features reappeared with the second obverse type introduced in 1901. To me it seems like Barber really wanted to be true to the original design, but didn't get around to tweaking it for 9 years. Report this Post to the Staff
