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."

That's nice luster for a 1902-O and a slightly better strike for the date. The reverse has about as much cameo as this date ever has. Nice coin.
I'm at MS-63 here. The cheek and a few of the deeper small contact marks hold it back from a higher grade. This one may be a PL, but I can't tell from the photos. They don't look like the older PLs, because of the lack of cameo, but can be just as reflective. It's a very nice coin for the date and grade.
