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."

Tough call from these photos. Could be AU or MS. Will wait for updated photos.

Nice 1921 there NS  I'd estimate the grade a MS-64ish as that is not wear on the obverse but a weakly struck design in the center hair. These 1921 Peace dollars had a high relief making the design somewhat weak on certain coins.  |

Looks like the coin might in a 2x2 in these images? Makes it harder to grade. Will wait for your images, either AU-58 or MS-63

A second set of pics from the seller.

I am at AU58 as showing rub on cheek and the neckline took a hit.

Thanks IGE and everyone who commented. I'm sure there'll be more discussion when it comes in.

It's a slider that would likely grade MS63. The obverse luster loss is the question, perhaps enough to drop it to AU58.

That's a classic slider. Likely low MS at most TPG and possibly AU+ technically. |
