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."

I'm guessing this will turn out to be a 7/8 TF (perhaps VAM-33.) If so, you completely stole it! I'm at a weakly struck MS62 for now. We may end up seeing PL when you show us your pics.

Nice 7TF. I'm leaning towards AU-58 with the poor photos, but possibly MS-62. Might be a VAM-70 or 70A.

This is a long nock VAM, B1 reverse (not 7/8.) I agree with VAM 70 - the doubling seems to be visible even in these photos and the wing void (a key PUP) is present. Can't see the other markers due to poor photo quality (die chips and floating leaf.) That long die crack on the reverse eventually develops into a pronounced field displacement or "bevel" that affects the entire circumference of the coin. I think this is probably MS61 in hand.

With all the obverse hairlines I can't get above a commercial MS-60.

Definitely looks like a VAM-70, but I'd say Unc details from the scratches in the left obverse field.
