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."

This coin is in a PCGS VF25 holder and is undergraded imho. It hammered last ednesday at $230,000 to which a $46,000 buyer's premium was added for a total of $276,000. This coin was last auctioned in Summer of 2010 at the ANA show in Boston for $126,500. This is a photo of the slab on that day. I think it has been reholdered as the cert number is no longer valid.

Stunning to think these were common enough back then to circulate without anyone paying too much attention to how special the issue would become.

No, 1794 dollars did not circulate much:
Limited production
Only 1,758 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollars were minted, and many were melted down or reused. Today, fewer than 150 of the original coins are thought to still exist.
