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."

Seems like an exceptional strike for a NOLA issue.

A beautiful 63/64. It is a strong O-mint strike as described. The price seems reasonable to me.

quite a bit of scuffing, missing luster on the cheek and obv fields and the reverse. I think the coin has seen some circulation. the 81(O) are typically one of the stronger N.O. mint strikes so it doesn't surprise me.
AU58 slider.
