 Left obverse field is obscured by flash and a little grainy under magnification making the cheek hard to assess. There may be some horizontal stations on the cheek but can't be sure. Better pictures like your excellent reverse pic would enable a better assessment. Looks like 3 large water spots on reverse near the arrowheads and bow of the wreath. Based on fhese pics maybe 65. Nice.

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."

Two small hits near jawline. Small hit under eye. Some water spots and luster breaks on bust and left obv field. Could be 64+ or 65. Likely still makes 65 at PCGS.
