I'm on a little bit of roll. What does everyone think on this one. I love all the small coins.   |

This series is tough for me to grade but I'll take a stab and say MS-63.
Beautiful coin

As long as that's a die crack at the top of the star, Id' say MS-64. Nice color!

That green stuff on the reverse bothers me.
Since it's a silver coin I think verdigris is out.
I suspect PVC.
Get it into acetone ASAP; and make sure it's PURE acetone.
You should find it at a hardware store.
And CAREFULLY follow the instructions on the can.

MS-63. Could go up or down a point. Quote:

Looks like maybe this is undergraded as well. At least I find ones that have good upside.  |

I would be concerned by the large obverse scratch in a regrade.
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."
