I came across this recently at a very small coin shop in my area.   Edited by Everest

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."

There appears to be a long vertical scratch in the reverse over the bow in the wreath. Might not be severe enough to details the coin but would detract from otherwise great eye appeal.

Not sure if the scratch was enough to keep it from MS-65.

Jeez that's a beautiful FE cent. I don't think the graders would details it from the "scratch".

Condition looks too good to be true. Small coin shop in Taiwan? I would be very careful.

Marvel: No need to worry. This was purchased in the U.S. I have been living in Taiwan off and on since 1969. The last 15 years pretty much full time. Now if you need any Trade dollars, 1794 or 1804 Dollars. Edited by Everest

Marvel: I did read the post by Mister T and then your post prior to posting. I took your post where you stated below MisterT's bracketed post
" No need to worry there" as a bit of sarcasm. I thought I would kill to birds with one stone with my post. I did read your post where you said it was a beautiful FE and graded it MS65.
The best way to resolve this misunderstanding (listen up spouses) is to admit we both misunderstood each others position. This way we each walk away with not admitting we were wrong. It is called "Saving Face" for those not familiar with Asian culture. Have a great day.

Now that it has been more than 72 hours I think it is time to reveal the grade.  |
