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."

Not really sure what is going on with the reverse of this one. Need better photos to see if that is toning or some sort of environmental damage. Going to say this is an AU going though

Slightly out of focus - accidental or intentional? I would assume the worst with whatever that is at the eagle's right wing tip. Not a fan.

accidental or intentional? based on all the other coins and prices NS paid my guess is the seller is intentionally putting out poor photos. possibly AU details |

I think this coin goes 63 or 64.
I do not usually suggest this, but this coin would be a great candidate for a 1:10 or 1:5 dip (1 part dip to 10 parts or 5 parts water) to see if that reverse stain can be lifted; it's a common date readily available through MS65, so not much risk if it doesn't help. Dip it for a few seconds and then rinse with hot water followed by acetone. If this doesn't work, you can try making the solution stronger (adding more dip) and doing a literal "rinse and repeat."

I'm guessing MS62-63 with an old cleaning.
