It is FSB but cannot grade b/c I can't see the surface of either side of the coin. Would need better pics to render an opinion.
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 has to be MS and FB.

That's all I can tell you about it based on the pics.

Agree with MS and FSB. Need a sharp obverse photo but I think I see a spot on the cheek and a possible scratch below the bust. If those marks are there the grade would be limited to perhaps MS64 at best.
How about some more photos?

I can't tell, is that a partial fingerprint above Pluribus on the reverse?
