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."

Other than the field marks lower obverse it is a slam dunk MS-65. NGC might have given those a pass. MS-65.

I can't see anything that would keep it out of MS65. There is a very small amount of chatter in the left obverse field and a few scattered light marks.

I'll say MS-65. It's pretty nice.
Errers and Varietys.

Agree with the 65 assessments but this could be in a 64 holder. I have several MS64 1900-O Morgans in my care that look similar to this one.

Not quite a 65 for me. Luster probably pushed it to that level in NGC's opinion.
