More luster is visible and I see fewer marks especially in the obverse. Most of the eagle's right wing looks a little dark instead of the shiny white in the rest of the eagle. It is likely lighting causing this but there is a chance it can be rub. Coin looks MS65 though. That's my guess. Nice coin.
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."

Either an extremely nice 58 or 65, completely concur with student's assessment

Deducting one point for TV, agree MS-64.

Tough call, I tend to agree with Frog's logic on TV. MS-64 but 65 wouldn't surprise me.

This one was graded MS-62. I honestly sent it in thinking it would be AU-58 or MS-63/64. I don't see the dings or lack of luster consistent with a 62 grade.

I think we need to see the non-TV pictures on this one.
