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."

Maybe MS-64? Not definite. We'll know, once we get better photos in hand.
Errers and Varietys.

Some, or all of you may be less puzzled by why I bought this as there are decent photos of both sides and this one appears to be the best coin in the lot. Looks pretty nice imho. Part of the reason is that it is graded by PCI at this lofty grade. Looking forward to seeing what shows up at my doorstep. Should be fun. Seller is currently digging out of a recent snowstorm so no idea when it will get here.

IIRC, that generation of PCI slab may be the Centsles stuff.

Again, as PCI coins go, this one is nice. It does look like it could be PL, but that's for an in-hand assessment. There are quite a few smaller nicks on the obverse and reverse, but just a couple deeper hits, with the deepest on the reverse. I think this would go MS-63/63+ on a bourse floor, but I could see a real TPG coming in at MS-64. MS-67? Only in the 6/7 memes of the young smirking Gen Alphas. |
