My grade is 64+
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."

85(O) are typically average in strike. I would say this one is on par for strike. shadowing on the cheek could be hiding luster or luster may be broken, cant assess that with this photo. reverse surface preservation is very good. i'd say rev is MS65 even with the small marks across the bow. a few scuffs on the obv field and light marks on the cheek with a few hairlines. if the luster is still there on the cheek/neck area then MS64. if broken then MS63+

sorry...didnt see the returned grade. looks like the leaned towards the 64 which is ok

MS63 tops and that is a reach. Too many contact marks in the fields and on the cheek.

Nice looking 1885-O, with a strong strike. The grade looks spot on.

Reverse is close to 67. Obverse is 64+. I think this one slips into the lower end of 65 overall. NGC graded it conservatively which is understandable.
