Looks original. MS-62-ish. What's going on under the hair above the date?

63. shame about the cheek. fields look pretty clean.
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 think it makes 63. Super clash all over the place. The train tracks under the bust are a big negative to eye appeal.

Gotta pitch camp on the 62 side of the river.

It's a pretty hard hit when you get the hair clashing, to the (viewer's) right of the eagle's head. That's the curved line extending up and left from the wing, below "tru."
It's VAM-210B1, I believe. Not a "list" coin, but certainly among the harder clashes in the series. I'm with the "high 62, low 63" crowd on this one.

it might make MS63 as a technical grade but the obverse is nicked/scratched enough to lower its value

I am just a german guy without a lot of knowledge for these coins, but my first impression was a MS 63 as well. In my opinion there are not enough scratches for a 62. I dit not read the coments before.
