Wow. See a couple of marks on the eagle's wing, but overall, based on these pics, I'd have to say a 66 at least. A real beauty.

Obverse has fantastic strike and is simply outstanding.
I own several 66, and this is that nice, easily.
Reverse is what brings it "down" to that grade.
Still a screamer. Love it.

65
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."

As always, hard to tell from pictures, but it looks to me like there are obverse dings in the tiara between I & B, in the hair above the eye, behind the tiara between the tiara and the bun, and in the lower hair above the flowing hair, but nothing that distracting.
On the reverse, looks like there are dings in B of pluribus, right in the middle on the eagles feathers, and in the rays to the left of eagle, but again nothing that is super distracting.
It's a great looking coin. I'll go with MS65.
