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."

65 reverse, 63 obverse, but I think it stays at 63 since obverse carries the grade on Morgans. Still quite lovely with the hint of a rainbow arcing across the obverse.
NS, your photography skills seem to be coming along quite nicely!

Thanks. I'm trying my best but somehow I can't get my phone's auto focus to focus sharply on the entire coin. I think by the time I figure it out it will be time for a new phone.

I think it will make MS-64. Amazing luster on this one.

Typical soft pics from N/S disguise many marks in right obverse field.

reverse a little light for the year. whats the discoloration above the motto? looks like a good amount of luster remaining. quite a bit of scuffs on the cheek area but I'm not seeing any deep marks or heavy scratches but the lighting on the obv is not helping. I do think there are enough to hold the coin to MS63
