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."

Pics are really too dark to see surface details clearly.  |

It's a bit tough to see the fields in the pics. If the scratch west of the nose and the ding between the date and the lower hair curls aren't too bad, this looks MS-64.

It's hiding in the shadows like Batman.
It does have potential for a 64, at best

for the 81(P) the reverse should be a little stronger. again, light shadowing across the cheek is not helping. non-directional lighting would help. all your recent photos have this issue.
i dont think its higher than MS63+ or MS64

I'm experimenting with lighting to try to get a better shot of surface marks. Hopefully this gives a better idea of what the coin looks like.   |

Looking at the new pics, I think it goes MS-63/63+. Possible PL, but I can't get a good feel for the depth of reflection in the fields. With the coin in hand, you have a better feel for that.

Looks 64 to me. Great luster and only light marks.
