A lot of glare. Appears uncirculated. Probably 63/64 if nothing else is hidden with major distractions.

Thanks everyone. It was sold to me as uncirculated and I think it may be... I should have it in a few days and will know for sure.
Thanks again!

I'd say 58 at worst, 62 at best.

62
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."

MS-63 I think what you guys are seeing are contact marks and not wear.

Obverse is MS-61, reverse is MS-63, net MS-62. Extensive bag marks, chatter, and signs of rough handling, probably at the Mint or Treasury, not due to circulation. I have this coin in MS-60, MS-61, MS-62, MS-64, all PCGS and NGC, and this is closest to the 62. The reverse is stronger, a full 63 in my opinion.

Thanks everyone! I picked it up for under $40 including shipping. Good deal? Would it be worth sending to a TPG? |

I think that is a fair price. TPG costs don't seem warranted. If only it had an O mintmark...

I'll say 63 based on revised pictures, but don't know if all flaws in the original pics actually went away. Nice coin with nice luster notwithstanding.
