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."

She's a bit of history! $22 is a good deal.

I like this issue but obviously this isn't a prime example. VG detail.

For $22, I like it. Somewhere, sometime this was probably part of a bracelet, necklace, or nailed to a wall. The history known and unknown is what I like about coin collecting.

I generally dislike holed coins, but I have to admit, the symmetry (at least on the reverse) appeals to me for some reason.  |

That's a nice score no matter the grade, numismatic student! I would have snagged it myself at that price.

To quote Star Wars IV, "That's no moon, it's a space station!"  At that price, absolutely. The history is worth the price. Nice coin rescue! |
