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."

Looking at the right obverse field and trying to see if there is graffiti there. Seeing maybe an H and maybe an 8. Toggled sharpness and contrast and enlarged the image to see if it becomes clearer but I think it's inconclusive until I get this in hand.

O-109 looks right. I'd say a solid XF-45, nice strong strike and EDS. I'm not seeing any graffiti, but you'll have to see in hand.

i can see those marks in the right field. I'm seeing an H but can't tell anything else. I'm at AU53 on her barring any graffiti

This also came in a while back.
