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."

First impression is that this one had ever so slight handling, with rub on cheek and breast feathers. I'm guessing that's why you included two obv photos with alternate lighting? I'm going to assume that's from an unusually weak strike and will put this one at MS64/65.

I am at MS-65. Are we looking at this through a holder? Some of the marks I am seeing make me think so.

sharp strike which is typical
luster looks broken across cheek in first photo but I think that was from lighting.
nice eye appeal
too many scuffs and marks on the fields as well as jaw and neck to make 65
my grade MS64

I'm with panzaldi here, before comments I was going to go MS63+ but I'll upgrade it to MS64.

Exceptionally few marks on the cheek and fields, I'd say MS-66.

Looks as god or better than many Morgans graded 66. Very nice example!
