Beautiful tone. Decent strike obverse (some stars a bit light). Strong strike reverse.
Smack under the chin and the weird x on the cheek (is that x on the plastic and not the coin?).
MS-64 just because of that one bad smack.

the X is one mark on the slab (the long mark) and a small mark on the cheek

The hit under the chin puts it at ms64 for me. Without it this coin would be gem.
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."

that hit on the jaw is in a key area and the scratches on the cheek I think it drops it 1 full grade. MS64

I will say that the initial images accentuated the hits on the coin. From a luster aspect this coin was sitting next to a MS67 V nickel and from a luster standpoint they were comparable. That all being said I feel this was a worthy grade  |
