Here is an 1887 for your perusal. I noticed that there are lines that I am assuming are die cracks (just keep learning!). One runs from the P to her hair and another above starting at the denticles down to the "U" and "R", then back up. Thanks for your time and opinions...   |

The many marks on the face make me say MS-62. In a different light it might be an MS-63.

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and say the face marks aren't as bad as they look here, MS63.

Thanks for the input! The lighting does indeed make the face look a little rough. In hand it looks much better. I can try for a better shot in natural light tomorrow to see if that makes a difference.

63 from late state dies. nice.
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."
