The coin almost looks like a Proof, but I am suspicious. I have seen photos like this used by Internet sellers that make the coin look far smoother and nicer than it is. I would not place a premium bid based on this photo.

I bought the coin but it looks just as great with more luster in person. Less of the orange tone. No hairlines or anything.

Ridiculously sharp strike

Also I was looking at other 1936 proofs and saw that some of them also have two of the sun rays not as defined. Seems like an overpolishing of the die.

MS details - graffiti. Large S-shaped scratch on right obverse field.
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."
