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'll say MS-62. Shadows obscure most of the heavy cheek damage. Tell us about the appeal.

Might make MS-63. Nice luster.

How about a well-lit shot of the entire left side of the obverse?

I'm in at a 63 to my eyes, and got some nice clashing going on there...  |

These are my shots. I'm a terrible photographer I know. What I'm wondering about is the large crescent depression on the eagle's left wing. What do you think that is?

That indention could be a bin hit or a strike-through of some sort. There is a nice bonnet clash next to the eagle's left wing and corresponding wreath clash on the obverse. Nice die cracks, too.

I'll say MS-63 at best.
Errers and Varietys.

The eagle wing looks like a strike through, not a hit or scratch.
