Another one of the four that I retook photos of today. How would you grade this one? It has very clean fields, but the frost also has a fair bit of disturbance on the high points. My personal grade is MS 63. It is a late die state strike, which, if taken into account, might get it to a 64, or perhaps not.

63 due to the extensive obverse luster breaks and mark across cheek. Very lustrous and pretty coin.
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."

Ouch on the obverse frost disturbance. Still a technical 63, but I liked your other one more. Still a lovely wheel.

Don't forget, those frost breaks mean a ton more to a digital sensor than they ever will to your eye, in hand.
