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."

Unc details (scratched). the scratch across the obv from the back of the head to eye appears to be on the coin and will not pass

That line across the obverse looks raised to me. Might be something on the coin that will come off. If it does, MS-63.

If it doesn't, I'll say MS-62.

That obverse "scratch" appears raised to me too. Need confirmation there. Either MS-63 if not on coin or Details Scratched.

Weird that I went to look at the coin with a loupe and the mark wasn't there.   Same coin right?

Thinking maybe debris or a hair on the lens when I took the first photo?

That is weird! Must have been some debris. I think this is a nice MS-63. Amazing you are getting all these for $51

Thanks to all. Gratifying to know that not much is going to get past you folks.

Don't tell me you're thinking of sending this for slabbing. If you do, send it to a company that doesn't charge membership fees.

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