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."

Looks VF30. I may be seeing things that aren't there, but to me it looks like scratches or graffiti below the motto.

I'm at VF-25 here. I think it straight grades, although I see what Adam saw under the US of PLURIBUS. There is a small ding above the eagle's head (I think I heard the eagle say "missed me!"), but the rest of the surfaces look nice.

Oooooh! That circulation cameo looks so much better in your photos!
I'm still at VF-25, but your photos show detail that it isn't far from VF-30. There's a little bit more chatter that was hidden in the fields, but consistent with a VF coin. Nice coin.
