i'll guess ms64 due to the gash in the eagle's wing. Lovely fields. But for that scratch I would have said 65. Nice example.  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."

Any chance you can photo these at a slight angle, too, to give a better idea of the luster and where it starts and stops? The crummy obverse strike and great reverse strike is a bit disconcerting.

The reverse on this coin puzzles me..I get the obverse strike, but not the reverse damage?

Between the light cleaning and the gouge in the eagles wing this one has to go as a problem coin.
AU Details. A pretty nice AU Details though.

To me this a photography problem; almost looks like 3 different coins. I'll say 58 straight.

Looks dipped and not fully stuck up. I'd wait for one that has full breast feathers and hair.
