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."

Pictures bit bright. Looks MS.. 63/64 looks about right.
Also, there are some blue/orange color marks on rim on multiple locations, possibly a jewelry piece.

The luster flow on a Peace dollar is the most important element of the eye appeal that helps separate AU from BU technical grade. Because this coin has the largest open fields of any type the center of the cheek on obverse and right most wing line on the reverse usually fail to determine circulation easily. Especially from poor photos. The cascade of luster, almost always frosty and subdued, as with this example, picks up disturbance in those large open fields much faster than the high points rub. It is impossible to determine technical grade or eye appeal from these photos. |

Photos taken outside of the 2x2 would help.

My guess is MS 62-64. Cannot grade accurately with these pics.
