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."

Looks like an AU coin, maybe AU-55? I think I can see some minor circulation rub on the high points.
Errers and Varietys.

Au contraire mon ami! This coin's best days are right now. Take a peek just to the right of the designer's initial. I spy a dot. You appear to have either VAM-3 or VAM-4. Both are Top 100 VAMs, and real mysteries. I agree with AU-55 here.
