That is a great looking 66.
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'm seeing quite a few scratches in front of the neck and chin area and on her face . Unless that's on the holder I don't see how this can be higher than 64

This coin is up for auction and ungraded. I thought it looked pretty good and was trying to determine my price point. Thanks for the grades so far.

Small but significant dings behind Lib's neck hold this coin back a bit. Nice luster, well photographed.
Without the dings, I would have agreed with 65, but I am at
MS-64.

I am at MS-65 details cleaned. Major hairlines on the obverse.

I don't see anything that would cause a details grade. Cheek is very clean and the entire portrait is nice and frosty. Reverse looks comparable and overall eye appeal is strong. MS-65 seems like an easy call.

the 84(CC) should be sharp and bold. this one is a tad light around the ear and center of the wings. not a big deal. full unbroken luster. eye appeal is very good and just a few abrasions on both sides.
shes a solid MS65 with a shot at MS65+ or even 66 - really nice example
