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."

One question about this coin is that the date looks tilted to the right to me. Looking at the Osburn-Cushing reference, the two die pairs known for this issue do not have the date tilted to the right.

That is a lot of detail for $519 ! I hope the toning is original. If it is, that is a very good purchase, I would say. I will throw in my low grade example for comparison. I paid 150 euros a few years ago. I think you did comparatively (much) better.  |

I will grade by the price paid. XF details Cleaned. I think the coin will look quite different in hand. I say that because the coin is encased in a Capital plastic holder and I have never seen a Capital plastic holder with such an off white almost yellowish tint . Please update us when you have the coin in hand. TIA

This looks much better than the 1871 coin. Some luster remaining in protectes areas. I think the seller may have tried to get rid of the green on shield before sending the coin out to me. A little debris by liberty's eye. Will remove when I open the capital plastics holder. Further thoughts? Thanks!
