Picked up a few today. Thought on grade and problems? TPG in 48. Thanks!

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."

Ms63.5 -scratches(?)
Looks like some heavy scratches / marks in front of the face.
Also maybe slight MAD on the obverse.

Are those scratches or clashed leaves from the wreath in the reverse?

AU55, with substantial clashing and heavy die polishing/overpolishing. Reverse goes beyond clash into what looks like either a major area of die subsidence or a Greaser strike at K1.

This is an upgrade from my AU58 coin with some spotting.  It looks sharp but does not have booming luster which I think holds the coin back.
