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."

They rarely use MS-60 anymore so I'll go MS-61 also.

UNC details (cleaned) Odee, two comments on this one. one, I'm not seeing any circulation signs. two take a close look at the hairlines across area I noted. this is not from banging around with other coins in a bag. the coin was wiped with something that left those.  |

Errers and Varietys.

Thanks guys, I agree. I find this coin a little strange to have those wipe marks when the coin itself seems to be uncirculated. Strange, but weirder things have happened I suppose. I do like the coin, I cringe a little when I see the cheek scratches. I don't remember when or were I got this coin but it's a good filler in completing my 1878 Morgan's from applicable mints.

Sharp breast feathers; I like it, despite being knocked about a tad.
MS-60
