Looks ms62 to me based on the luster shown on the 1st and 3rd pictures. The second one doesn't show much luster. In this coin, the obverse seems better than the reverse which is the opposite of what you usually find. I don't see rub on the coin.
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."

The images are blurry, but I'll guess MS-61. Better pics for an accurate grade, please.
EDIT: I don't think that I can give you an accurate grade with these images...just too blurry.

We also can't see the entire reverse of the coin. This looks like am 1886-O - if so, you should put that in the title so folks can know what they are looking at and later search for the coin if we need to find it again.

If that is an "O"...it makes quite a bit of difference on this coin.

Low mint state, but photos aren't sufficient for a number (from me at least).

yeah, if this is an 1886-O, this is a $2,000 coin in ms62. I don't think it can be an S from the partial mm photo. Even if it's an S it is a $400 coin.

Yes...it is quite valuable if MS. Better pics would help to tell if it's a 58 or a 61/62

Based on the second pic of the obverse, I'll venture to say ms-64

Too many bag marks.
Need better pictures for final determination.

Looks exactly like the 1898-s I posted earlier on a post. Been dipped and called AU-58 cleaned. Everybody acted like they knew it was cleaned there cause it said but no one says it here and it looks just the same.

BassPro, the pics are not good enough to evaluate the condition of the coin. This coin appears to have more luster than your cleaned, AU coin.

From what I can see, this is a MS 62. The hair is quite baggy.
