Small but significant scratch on the 'V' doesn't help, so MS63. It would have got 64 or 65 without it.
Nevertheless, a pleasing and desirable coin.

I wonder about the toning (AT?) and would grade the coin MS64.

Pretty darn close to high MS . A couple of very small hits keeps it at MS-65 .  |

Lovely Natural toning, much better than average even strike. MS-65, which doesn't mean perfect, but still a high quality example, which this coin can righteously claim.

MS64, attractively toned, but a soft strike and a few marks and dings keep it out of Gem territory to me..

64. agree choice not quite gem.
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."

I thought it was a proof when I first saw it, still not sure. The bust looks somewhat frosted to me. The color looks like normal toning and very nice at that. I think it should get MS64.
