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."

Couple of minor hits on the neck and cheek, excellent luster, maybe even FSB, but to be really sure, need to look more closely at the the bands with a powerful loupe. MS63, and may well be FSB. Should have a sharp feel to the edge milling. Easier to see on the screen in the raw, when it is not behind plastic.  $15 OK.  |

 Please try to orient your pics correctly for the best input.  Edited by Coinfrog

Unless it's your photos , the obverse more so than the reverse looks polished . If I'm wrong then , MS65 not FSB .  |

I rotated the OP's pics and posted them below so we can see it better.  |

They were rotated correctly until I used this website's photo uploader...

From your pictures it looks MS65 no FSB. I always find grading from pictures a little tricky.

From MS 62-66.
The photos are over expose for me to give a closer grade.
