The picture is on the small side, but I see some disturbance in the field in front of Ms. Liberty's nose. I'd grade it MS-63.

It looks like a nice MS-63.

NGC isn't known for upping the grade much just because of lovely toning. Technically it's hard to see enough of the coin, especially the obverse, to judge the number of hits or bag marks that there might be.
The reverse is a little easier. Based on the reverse, and hoping it stays true with the obverse, which is a total guess, I'd be at MS-64. Color looks natural.

63. Nice reverse.
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."

Here is the shocker. NGC graded this bad boy MS66. I believe that is a combination of how much nicer the coin looks in hand and a bit of good luck. I now know that I will have to sell this coin person to person and not online, unless I come up with a better way to photograph it.  |

Uhhhh...  I get I should get my monster-toned Morgan certified, as much as I don't want to. |

Not surprised. I dropped my grade, because I wasn't sure if there were hidden marks.
