Difficult to tell from these pics. MS-63
Edit: Don't know what I was thinking when I said 63. MS-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."

I'll come in at MS64. I just had my head handed to me on a Peace dollar grading thread, so hopefully I can feel a little better about myself on this one. |

The lack of luster killed it. It looks like it was dipped too many times destroying the mint frost.

https://www.NGCcoin.com/certlookup/4648129-046/63/actually if you look at the NGC photos of the coin you can see that the flash on the seller's camera or his post processing washed them out really bad and also hid some bag marks. The coin I think does have luster as it shows in the NGC photos. In any case I will know for sure tomorrow when I have it in hand. Thanks again everyone!
