Okay, I'm learning here. I skipped over the posted grades and from what I see, MS63.

Hard to read the obverse. I'll guess MS63 as well.

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."

 I've been trying to get good at cherry picking nice AU coins  . I think this was a winner. I can't see the wear on it and the cheek is pretty clean. This actually looks better than a lot of 62's I've seen.

I concur with the consensus here, the reverse is deserving of a MS grade. But unfortunately in this case, the obverse holds more weight in determining grade. AU-58 is a bit low IMHO . .
