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."

Pass. I'm assuming these are seller's pics. Morgans from New Orleans are always a bit tough to grade, so I'm not sure if that's wear on the high points of Liberty's hair and the eagle's breast or just a bad die. Also seems like two bad dings in the eagle's left wing. But most of all is the color - surely they could have taken a better photo. Or are they hiding an overly dipped coin that lacks luster?

the surfaces on this one do not appear to be original. the 80(O) is one of the better struck N.O. coins and the details in devices like the cotton balls is missing as well as the hair around the portrait
AU details (cleaned)

Excellent price if it straight-grades at high-AU or better. Must wait for your photos.

I agree that this one has been doctored in a couple of ways. This is when the iffy seller photos indicate a little subterfuge, but it's still fun to speculate. All in all, a good price for the variety.
