Overall grade, I will say MS63 due to marks on the cheek.
Otherwise, a very nice example.

Those three railroad tracks on the cheek negate this as more than bullion plus a little more.
A grade doesn't matter. It really doesn't.
Technical grade + Eye Appeal = Value.
In this case the eye appeal is so bad it destroys any numismatic grade value.
If you had asked, "Would you buy this for $___", I'm betting you'd get very few buyers above $25.
It's not nice, but it's true.

63. Shame about the hit.
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."

The cheek is such a disaster, ruins the coin completely.  |

i agree MS63 and yes its a shame about the cheek hit it really detracts from the overall eye appeal and grade as its in the most critical area of the coin. most likely this occurred in the bag but it is what it is
