63 weak strike
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."

Nice coin MS63/64. Seems like a weak strike, but the glare makes it hard to tell if there is a rub on the hair. I hope not.

Even for this date/mm which isn't known for good strikes, this one is weaker still.
For determining AU versus BU the open fields are more helpful than the high points. In this instance I see no disturbance of the luster in those open spaces.
MS-63.

I am in at MS63. I also like the subtle obverse toning, as I am not usually a fan of toned coins.

63. Absolute pancake strike, but I don't think it penalizes the coin to a 62.

Well, the consensus seems to be 63, and I agree.

I'm digging the die cracks and the color. I'm at 63 with a weaker strike as other have said.

I'm very new to collecting Morgans, but when I saw the pictures I thought MS64 with a really weak strike.
