Thoughts on grade and problems? Thanks!   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."

MS63 or 64
Hard to say, is that a scan?
I have a feeling the coin in hand is much different than the picture.
Great MS coin with attractive die cracks

I like it, but the rather monotone color differentiation looks like a scan, rather than a photo.
Obviously mint state, at least RB, possibly Red.
Looks 64 RB based on photos provided.

It's a photo. Seller says color is true - and odd.

 Beautiful! MS-64RB would be my guess as well. |

MS64RB. If not for the weak obverse strike (not exactly uncommon here) and the nick in the motto at WE I think this is close to a 65.

From the sharpness, marks and tiny spots, I'd say MS-63, but the odd color in the photo makes it impossible to decide if the piece has been messed with to change the color. The look in the photo is not natural, but that might be due to the white balance in the photo.
