This one looks like a stronger obverse strike barring the lower part... The poor pictures dont help but you can see the stars are split until the top (in hand I have a feeling it would be better). What do you think? Worth a risk with a return option?

why not just ask the seller for better pictures?
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."

Better obverse strike, much worse reverse strike. Keep looking. You are on the right track. You only need one. Make it special.

It's probably a 63 or 64 but the pics are poor so there's no telling really.

I would guess MS-64, though it is quite hard to tell from those pictures.

it could be as high as MS64. if they have a return policy it may be worth a shot if the price is right. I'm seeing some flat leaves hopefully its not an altered pic to hide something. i'd give it a shot
