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."

Before the verdict is in ... I didn't see Liberty had that spot by the ear.
I have to take my guess down to MS64 RB

Looks a heck of a lot better in that last photo! The other photos were not doing it justice.

I agree with the technical grade of 64, but this coin does not merit a RD designation imho based on the pictures provided. Full red cents carry a significant premium, and I doubt that this coin would be able to realize it. It is RB at best and the oxidation spot in the neck makes it less than average in terms of eye appeal. I would also be concerned that the coin is unstable and turning brown as the coin was once considered full red by a professional grader.

Agree, well said. Complete disconnect between the photos and the slab. Not sure what the OP was trying to accomplish here.
