63. Great cheek and liberty, but both sides seem heavily hairlined, limiting the otherwise super frosted devices.
May be pl or dmpl but can't tell that from these pictures. Nice coin.
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."

63PL for me, but the excessive die polish lines diminish its eye appeal.

I'm probably quite off the mark, but I'll say MS 64 PL CAC.

MS65PL if the reverse is actually PL. I can't tell from the photo.

I'm still learning, but those die polish lines look like someone took a toothbrush to the surface. Interesting how that looks, I would have thought the dies would be super smooth.

Hard to tell if obverse marks are on the slab or the coin. Cheek says MS-65PL but if the hairlines are on the coin drop it two grades.

I don't think those are die polishing lines; the coin looks to have been mishandled. I'll say 63PL.

PCGS MS-64
I bought the coin because of the frosty surfaces with PL fields.
Several of you nailed it ... and pointed out the various issues with the coin.
Cheers!

I agree with PCGS's grade of MS-64, but I also think it looks PL.
