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."

VG-10 with coin roller damage. Not something I would expect you to buy.

The detail on the Indian are unusually strong. There is something special about it but I no longer have my Buffalo nickel die variety book to know what it is. Hints? |

Could this be a circulated Proof?

I follow all the coins you buy and post. This one seems to be a little odd for you? Not particularly nice looking coin or a rare date? Just curious your reasoning on this one?

VG Details: Improperly cleaned; Obverse damage at date
Hard pass at $8. A quick scan of Sold Items listings on the Bay shows like coins going for $5.

I thought it was better than vg. No special reason for buying it. I bid a little over 4 bucks not realizing that the shipping was 4 bucks.
