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'll say MS-65. Nice coin!

Looks mint state, with slight strike weakness at Liberty's ear. Luster is decent on the reverse, a little muted on the obverse. A couple green flecks on the eagle's tail. Very few contact marks. MS-63 seems fair.

Would have to see the in-hand luster on this one. I am leaning towards a slider.

looks like she had a dip. photos can be very tricky. lighting can help or harm what the coin actually looks like. not sure if that some verdigris on the rev near the left talon and to the right of it. might be some rub on the left wing and breast. 86(P) are known for nice sharp strikes. this one seems a little weak on the higher points of the devices particularly the hair
if the coin looks like this in hand its just my opinion but I think it might be a slider

Luster is a bit subdued but the coin still looks MS-64.
