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 like the slight subtle toning.

Lighting obscures much of the surfaces, difficult to evaluate.

Great first year Barber! I like the toning, but too many shadows to get an accurate grade.

We'll need better photos to make a determination on the grade.
Errers and Varietys.

really nice eye appeal. I'm not into toned coins as they typically don't end up looking good after decades but this one is quite nice. reverse strike is full on punched. i'd call that a 66 reverse. can't see anything that would drop lower than that obverse is little more challenging as the photo is a tad out of focus but i'll call it MS64 i'll net this one to a nice MS65 coin.  |

Only a guess with the dark toning, MS-63.

Still at 65, good shot at a + or * grade
