Maybe 61PL.

edit to add - there are over a dozen PL and DMPL examples listed in the SSDC census, so yeah, PL very possible.

I'll give it an MS-61 just because the reverse looks nice.

Appreciate the added replies. When I get this one in, I will provide in-hand opinions. These photos are likely much better than I can provide.

Seems pretty much unanimous: MS, prooflike surfaces, heavily bag marked but otherwise a no-problem dollar. MS-61 PL.

MS62 but would shell out 63 money because she's a beauty.
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."
