There are only the smallest hints of rub at the very tip tops of the highest points of the design elements, but those areas are also slightly darker. In hand you might tilt the coin to see if there really is any hints of rub.
I'd give it the benefit of the doubt with a 63 RB.
I bet you stole this based on the sellers photos. Congratulations.

In hand you might tilt the coin to see if there really is any hints of rub. There might be some rub on the eyebrow and earlobe, but it is hard to tell. The cheek and the reverse look wear-free. I am piggybacking with a dealer and sending this to PCGS. We'll see what they say.

Wow, congrats sir! I wouldn't have been able to pull the trigger based on those photos. Looks like it will pay off regardless of whether there is slight rub or not. Good luck!

MS63RB. Very nice price in it. I got one of these years ago on bad scans/pictures and got a 63BN out of it. Even with the grading fees, you will still be up big time!

Looks like the coin has poor alloy mix issues which to me is not an issue at all. Looks cool to me. MS-63BN with a good shot at RB. Nice one for $160.00!

nice 
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."
