I can't see this any higher than MS-65.

I'm pretty conflicted, one one hand I want to say a 64 and on the other a 58 but am leaning towards 64, it's hard to tell with the kinda flat lighting.

I'll cast my ballot in at MS-65.

Sure looks like there is high-point wear, especially on the wreath, plus rub in the obverse fields. Toning gives it great eye appeal but if it has wear it should grade AU-58 max.
If luster however is complete across the fields then MS-65 wouldn't be out of line.
A true beauty!

MS(64). The toning reminds me of the toning on my 1838-O/O dime! It's gorgeous album toning!

I'll say 64 too but the best part outside of the toning is the beautifully centered and strong strike. Pretty!
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 in the fence. Based on these it's looks to have light breaks in the luster and rub on the high points. If that's not as prominent in hand, then luster still looks subdued but may make MS. AU58- MS63 for me. Based on these , AU.

If the scratch through the N is on the coin, not the case, then MS63. Otherwise MS64.
