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."

Odd hammer price.
Too much for an AU, not near enough for an MS.

Looks like a nice, original AU-58. $1200 would have been a nice buy.

It's a pretty nice AU coin. It's unfortunate you got outbid on it.
Errers and Varietys.

i cant see any lower than 55. shes right on the AU58 cusp. I think the reverse would push it over the line. quite a nice example

Too many marks / ticks for me to be a 58. It's a high-end AU-55+
