Super coin! A lot of the fine hairline marks on the obverse look like they are on the holder. I'd say MS-66 FB.

I'm with Zurie , MS-66 FSB . Obverse fields might deduct to a 65 but you gotta love this key Merc .  |

Beautiful example with a lot of eye appeal! I'm at MS65 FB, though as Zurie mentioned it appears some of the hairlines on the obverse may actually be on the holder, which if that's the case I might bump my guess up slightly...

The sort of coin that dreams are made of. Solid 65FB and bar none the finest example of that coin that I've ever laid eyes upon.

I am missing the obverse luster that apparently everyone else sees? Because I don't see it I'm going below 65.
It looks completely original and well-struck with excellent eye appeal. MS64FB.

To me it looks MS-64FB. TPG probably gave it a bump to 65 because of being the key. |

 with both BH1964 and IGE MS64FB and possible bump up a solid point due to the date/mm combo. Love the light blue/green toning dusting the coin. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

Sorry for the delay. Here is NGC's take:  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."
