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."

MS63-ish. Can't tell what's happening next to the eagle's left wing, perhaps a clash?

Tough call from these dark photos. Either MS-62 or 63.

I'll say maybe MS-63. Once you get it in hand, it'll be much easier to grade it.
Errers and Varietys.

These are the relatively good photos so can't complain. You know well what the bad ones can be hard to comprehend.

Nicer than the original photos showed. Small marks but nothing major. MS-64.
