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."

I'll say MS-62. Lots of bag marks on both sides.
Errers and Varietys.

I'm not sure on this one, but check it against 1884-O VAM-6. If it is VAM-6, it would be another Top 100 VAM. I agree with MS-62 here. |

Thanks @fortcollins! Below is an image of the VAM6 RPM.  Here is a close up of the mmk on this coin. I don't see the RPM in this case.

The marks keep this at a lower MS grade.
