Guess I'd better up my estimate to 64!  I don't hate Trueview pics. I just think they consistently overstate the eye appeal of the coins they represent. Edited by Coinfrog

my first thought was UNC details (graffiti) it looked like an X and D on the neck. you can really see how TV alters the actual coin
MS64 too many scuffs and marks for 65 in my book

I'm definitely on the 64/65 fence but willing to defer to PCGS's assessment at 65. Definitely better than the PCGS 65 I purchased earlier this year (and subsequently sent back for a refund). It oozes originality in hand which probably swings it in the 65 camp.
@smat Feel free to send me an email and I can share my source who is extremely well connected and knowledgeable.

Gotta love the people that "guess" MS65 after the true view cert is shown  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I find it difficult to grade peace $s but the mark towards the back of the neck which I can see in your pictures and more faintly in the TruView would have precluded me from calling it gem, but I'm not that knowledgeable in this series. This is a large, heavy coin with large open fields so I have found grading these challenging.
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."

ignoring the TV which I normally do, I just cant get this one to 65. too many marks on the reverse. all over the motto, the lower wing and leg with light scuffs on both sides. at best i'd call it boarderline but I guess PCGS thought there wasnt enough to downgrade it a point.

I never use Trueview to grade from. MS-64 on this one.
