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."

Great price! Again, may be a slider, but could change when we see in-hand photos. Softly struck and the ink(?) spot is distracting. Once we see your pictures, this is another one that might benefit from a quick dip with a little extra attention at the spotting (don't tell anyone I said that...)

89(P)'s are usually soft so most likely we are seeing strike issues here. broken luster, field discoloration. I doubt that stain is coming off and if it does its going to leave residual. I think someone attempted to clean the coin and this is the best they could do AU details (cleaned, PMD) |

Looks MS, might want to give this one a bath in E-Z-Est to remove the dark junk on the reverse. MS-63.

I think it's already had a dip and would be an AU-58 imo.
