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."

MS-62 obverse is proof-like.

Proof details for hairlines.
If hairlines are on the holder I'd say PR-65 cameo

Wow, gorgeous!
If lines are on the coin, I say PR-62. If on the holder, PR-64.

Proof 63 with a good shot at a cameo designation. Hard to tell with it not being in hand.

Wowzers! It looks like OC-P2, reverse die stage b, with just the one broken leaf. Very few surface dings, and they are minor. Almost everything in the fields is die polishing.
I know the TPGs are tough on the Proofs, but surely this makes PR-63. The obverse makes CAM, but I can't get a good feel for CAM/not on the reverse legends.
What a beautiful coin.

Considering it was minted 160 years ago, likely cleaned by someone, a very lovely proof  . |

I'll go with Proof 63 Cameo, but not with a lot of confidence. This is a proof on my wantlist, so I'm jealous...  |

That's a fair grade. It looks close to a 63 in these images.

A wonderful piece though I also felt it graded slightly better.
