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."

EF details, environmental damage. IGE, is it the spotting on the reverse that you think is bad enough to call it Environment damage? |

Looks like the spots on the reverse and obverse rim to the right of 3 have eaten into the surface. I don't think they can be removed by any method.

However, I thought it was over-graded by a grade or two and wanted to get a take on originality. So many Trade dollars get a pass for old cleanings at TPG's. I am waiting to get this one in hand, but I feel like it might have all original surfaces (or at least that is what I am hoping!) Edited by ericgreen
