I had a quarter quite similar to this with an exacto mark on the cheek. MS-62 was the grade and I think this the same.

62
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."

Obverse has a little friction rub / cabinet rub across the cheek, reverse looks untouched. I'd be around MS63. I don't see enough marks to drop the grade any lower.

The coin looks overexposed and shiny to me. Cleaned and Polished?

I think there is slight wear on the obverse. I'll buck the trend and go AU-58. Don't see wear on the reverse.

Thanks, everyone, for your input. This coin was in an old album holder from the 1950s until 2020. PCGS called it MS(61). I love the nice luster, color around the rims, and how non distracting the scratches are to me. I like how this looks in hand, especially for the grade.  Edited by Adam590
