Probably got MS-63 BN. But ignore the grade and realize there is corrosion around the N in UNITED.

 even if this did straight grade you eliminate a lot of buyers with that corrosion spot. |

Looks like it has ms64 sharpness to me but the color of the surfaces is suspect on both sides of the coin and there is a fairly prominent and large V-shaped scratch at 12 o'clock in the obverse. Coins like this do end up in straight holders, but aren't problem-free.
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'll say 63, too bad about the spot.

MS/UNC Details - Corrosion and improperly cleaned
Nice coin though, and I'd be proud to own it.

This is currently up for auction. PCGS has this graded at UNC Details - Scratched.
Thanks all for your input here.
