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."

AU-53. Possibly cleaned at some point but I'll bet this got a pass and a straight grade. Nice coin!

Solid AU, 53-55, & very pleasing, though I would have to suspect an old cleaning. Sometimes they detail that, sometimes they don't.

Thanks for all your kind comments. Don't see a lot of wear here. The high points in LSDs are in the right breast and left knee/thigh of Liberty. Looks intact to me. Agree with the TPG grade.

Superb coin. Well done. The PCGS Trueview photograph is impressive. A lot of bang for the buck with solid AU 58 Liberty Seated dollars IMO. I would rather have a nice eye appealing 58 with a slight bit of wear than a much more expensive and dinged up 60-62 Unc. |

Amazing upgrade and TPG outcome. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
