Agree on FSB. Scratches on the obverse are a little distracting, could make it details. Otherwise it looks like it would be MS 63/64.

Yes FSB . scratches on obverse might be an attempt of cleaning or doing away with the toning by a newbie . MS-65 Details , maybe higher .  |

ms62fsb with a obverse weak strike and obviously a firm enough reverse strike to split the bands.
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."

Attractive toning, but the hairlines are a bit distracting. Either MS-63 FSB, or MS-65 details.

Looks like it got a quick dip once and toned back nicely, whether or not a FB is still nice.
There are die polishing marks below the motto and back of neck area mixed in with minor scratch marks on the obverse. Luster appearance is still there.

MS64, not sure if top bands are full. Hoping they are die polishing lines.

MS63 for me. Obverse hairlines are little distracting.
I will say FBL. Toning is appealing.

I am sorry, but I have to say not FSB. The upper bands and the middle bands just aren't rounded enough for me. Those bands are just a bit flat I feel. Les  |

I agree with merclover not quite FSB, and for the same reasons.
Scratches bring it down from MS65 to 63.
very nice coin nevertheless

Agree not quite FSB, 63 net - shame, basically a gem coin that's been mishandled.

I bet in hand the light scratches on the obverse are not that noticeable. Plus the color is very nice. I see no reason why this wouldn't be FB. MS65FB

It is not FSB. The center bands must have the look of two loaves of bread with full line separation between them.
MS 64.
