Based on the photos, it's a bit unclear how many marks are on the surface of the obverse of the coin - specifically the lower cheek. With that said, my best guess is MS-63.

64+. Nice photos.
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 see some magic green sauce on obverse cheek and reverse rim. Possible ED. Pretty chattered up, if straight MS-63.

I'd say it just makes MS-64.

MS63 based on photos. Not easy sometimes to get a good shot of silver & gold coins. Lighting has to be right & a bit of know how.....
Nice coin no matter what grade.....

Cheek has too much shadow on it to really see what is going on. Will say MS-64

shadowing across cheek makes this one tough as we cant see whats going on there and thats critical. nice strike for this year. luster looks good but may be broken across cheek. too many scuffs and marks to go 64 based on what I can see so I'm at MS63. nice coin though
it does appear using the obv photo that it has some PVC rub on it. I agree with jacrispies. acetone bath is on order if thats the case. you can also see a little on the rev rim
got to watch the shadowing on these. maybe add another slight angle photo to see the profile better

I'm at a solid MS63 for this one, I think 64 would be overcooked.

looks like at least a + on that 63 grade for me and ignoring the PVC it could pull a 64. I think my biggest concern is the PVC though going forward if thats what in fact it is and it sure looks like it since its showing up in both photos
