PL rev, not uncommon for the date and MM, with heavy die polishing lines.
My personal grade would be MS62 with that whack on the neck, the fingerprint, and the shotgun-blasted cheek, but I think NGC probably gave it a 63.

63pl sounds legit
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."

MS63 not sure if it makes PL although the criteria was a bit more relaxed during that generation slab.

Not sure exactly what I'm looking at here. Die polishing at San Francisco generally hewed strictly North-South, so diagonal scratches must immediately be suspected. Additionally, in some places it looks as if the scratches are weakest when closest to lettering, which is exactly the opposite of what one would expect from die polishing. With that said, the surfaces certainly look nice enough for the coin to easily pick up scratching from fairly small events, and that scratching would be difficult to catch from most angles. So evaluating it from a standpoint of whether or not it straight-graded is iffy; my guess is that it did, in fact, straight grade although I'm not sure it should have. As always, one set of images does not definitive opinion make, so take me with a grain of salt.  MS63, and PL is on the table but probably not on the slab. |

I would give it MS-63PL, but it may go 64, assuming it is straight graded.
The only thing that may be a problem are the scratches, so if it's a details grade it would be Unc. Details - Scratched.

Assuming it straight-graded, and I bet it did, then MS64.
