65. Beautiful.
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."

The fields are fantastic but I can't go 65 because of the soft hairlines. 64+ - yes, beautiful coin. I love silver dollars with die cracks!

There is something about the lighting or photography on these coins that seems to be reducing the sharpness, as would be seen with an anti-dust filter or the like.
Overall, I think NGC would have said MS65. The horrible strike will keep it out of a 66 holder any time soon, IMO.
