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."

MS64 for me, the head is a touch flatter than the MS65 and 66 coins I've seen, otherwise the luster is good and next to no scuffs or hits I can tell, the obverse is just not well struck up in the center and shield areas, the stars look better struck, overall a lovely example.

A real beauty! Well struck with frosted devices and nice luster. I'd say a solid MS-64.

My great-great grandmother worked the red-light and opium scenes of Carson and Virginia Cities in the late 1870s. Obviously, this quarter is one that didn't pass through her operations.

Very nice, this would nicely fill that hole in my Carson City type set . I'm also thinking MS64 or MS64+. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

I am not good at grading these so I won't try.
Mint state for sure..
I noticed you didn't add a purchase price like usual?

Most likely Unc, but there are slide marks on the upper arm and Liberty's left leg.

Thank you for all of your kind comments. @NFTW - I didn't include the price in the original post because I feel that sometimes posting the price of the coin colors the grade that some give. If anyone cares, I paid $1,005 for this coin and ANACS graded the coin as per the image below. I thought it was a great looking coin for the grade it was given.

When I was doing some comparisons of your original photos to other coins sold online at mostly auctions, I saw a lot in the MS61 and MS62 grades similar in strike, but I thought yours had much more luster and quite a few less marks, this might be a good candidate for a upgrade, unless there are issues hidden we just can't see, it's a nice coin.
