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."

VF-20. Not sure if it will straight grade with that reverse.

I'm at VF.
Errers and Varietys.

Nice circulation cameo. It clearly makes F-15, but the question is whether it can make VF-20. I think it does, but I could see a TPG coming in a F-15. This one would be a poster child for adding an F-18 grading point. It looks like there is an old cleaning (wiping) on the obverse, but IMHO it is market acceptable. Good eye appeal for the grade range. |

VF, details. Don't think this gets a pass on that cleaning.

Pass.
$88 seems like a details price for this VF example.

The reverse hairlines seem pretty obvious. I'd expect a "cleaned" result if submitted for grading.

Yes, I originally thought this was a quarter when I bought it. Realized it just after I bought it and was able to cancel the order right away. I bought it together with the 1927-S walker and was unable to cancel just one of the coins so I had to cancel both. For the price, an 1836 quarter would have been worth it even if cleaned, but the 1836 half is not as valuable.
