I like this coin a lot. Any thoughts on grade?   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."

It appears Mint State and likely Choice but not close to Gem. MS63 from what I can see. It would need blazing luster to have a shot at 64 IMO.

I also have this Peace dollar. This has a little dark toning on one side. Which one is better compared to the one on top of the thread?

I happen to like the one on top better.

MS-63+. I'd go 64 but I think the couple of luster breaks from handling, which I don't think are wear, would hold it back.

I think I prefer the second one, but in any event the first obverse pic is too blurred for an educated opinion, imho.

The second one looks MS-63, but the first one is hard to tell with the blurry obverse picture.
