Hey folks Let me know what your guesses are for this coin. It has superb luster even with the toning and full cartwheel. Thanks!   You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

some lack of detail, probably due to not the freshest of dies.
If that is right, then
MS-64.

Such a beautiful design IMHO, MS-64 also.

Toning makes it difficult to see surface details clearly, especially in the right obverse field, which seems to suggest scattered marks. Could be MS-64, but perhaps only a 63.

shadows may be hiding markers. AU58 or as high as MS64. using these photos i'd be comfortable at MS63, there looks like quite a few scratches/marks under that toning. especially on the right obv field

That's a beauty. 64 with a shot at 65.

Strike is reasonable (split thumb; a lot of head detail).
Scratched on the left leg and (maybe) the rays.
I think it's still MS and 64 would be quite reasonable.

I'm with panzaldi, could be AU-58 or MS-63/64.

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."

Some bag marks in the right obverse field, I'd say MS-63.

Ns- I've looked at it under high power loupes, there's no surface issues.
Also, the breast is notorious for flat spots there for weak strikes.
There is luster on the breast.
Panzaldi- There are a few ticks on the right side, but also a few that are superficial.
Anyone that knows this series also knows that the right side is also notorious for marks showing up, even on gem coins.
