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."

My first thought is MS-65 but I don't like the rub marks in the fields above the date and above E Pluribus Unum. I'll wait for in hand photos, this might be a MS details.

I agree some areas of the fields look iffy but otherwise it is a gem level piece.

Hard to discern PL from photos of course, but I could see it pulling that designation. I can't see the cleaning indications, so I'll throw out a 64.
