It's really a tough call. MS-65 would not surprise.

I'm going to go against the grain and call it 63PL. This cheek just doesn't look gem to me based on this obverse pic.  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."

Let's add one more photo for evaluation before I reveal the grade later today. Thanks for looking!  "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

Grade reveal. I think this coin got a bump because of the GSA holder.  "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

I was pretty close with 66PL, it's at least semi PL. Congrats on the 67.
Also, extra bonus points because it's a non-CC GSA black box holder. Those are quite scarce.

nope sorry. even though all the hairlines are polish lines I can't get the coin to that grade. Assigning PL designations without some point of reference to determine depth is really just a guess.
i'd have called it MS65+

I agree - to me this coin look perhaps 65+. I think this is another example of market grading because the coin is, as has been stated, a rarer GSA offering. It is a nice coin, just over graded. Again, this isn't my coin - it is currently on auction at Stack's. https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...ar-ms-67-ngc"Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

No 67 there! IMHO
Have seen and owned
65 s that are better in appearance.

Yeah that's not even close to a 67. NGC overgrades way more often than PCGS or ANACS in my opinion. They're over by at least half a grade on most of their Morgans to me.
