It's tough to gauge the obverse as a good part of it is hidden in shadow. The reverse looks fully MS-65. Without knowing what possible bag marks might hide in the reflections and shadows of the obverse, I'd guess at MS-64. Better photos of the obverse could easily show that it matches the reverse for quality.

I hope these obverse pictures help (scracth from left side field and cheek are on slab)   |

MS62
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."

It looks like it could make MS-63.

That's a tough one. The reverse is nearly flawless but the obverse is chattered away. I have no clue.

this one is a little more challenging as the spread on the obverse vs reverse is significant. I have the reverse at MS65 and obverse at MS62+. i'll net it at MS63
