Like Sinatra, I have a few regrets. One of these is the coin pictured below. I had in my cart ready to buy but the price was a little high. About 11% above above PCGS guide, but I knew it was worth it. While I was pondering it, it sold yesterday to someone quicker on the trigger than I was.

Coin is sooo sweet... Thoughts? Thanks!

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 guess high AU, maybe MS if the wear on the reverse is a weak strike issue.

AU58 for me. A very lovely coin. Thankfully there will always be new listings to chase.
