Slightly baggy on the cheek.
I'd say MS-62, maybe -63.
BUT
What really bothers me is the lack of toning around the devices.
That hints at being dipped (cleaned).
The lines in the field behind Liberty appear to from the Mint, not abrasively cleaned.
I base that opinion on the fact that they go right up to the devices.

My initial thought was that it has been cleaned due to observable scratches on the obverse but defer as I'm fairly new to this.

MS details - improperly cleaned. Looks dipped.
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."

Hello. Thank you all for your thoughts.
The coin actually looks really good in hand, but the picures somehow bring out the worst of it. If lightning permits, I will post some additional close ups tomorrow.
