64. the 2 hits on the cheek and jaw hurt it.
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 don't think the hits on the cheek are bad enough to drop several points however, based on the photo (could be the lighting) the coin looks like it was dipped as the photos are showing missing luster on both sides maybe enough to details the coin.
MS63 possibly details (cleaned)

@Coinfrog Please remember I'm new to this.
I youtubed a couple of videos to help me understand "Luster". I do see the cartwheel effect but it does seem to die towards the center of the coin.

MS-63, the reverse is nice, but obverse holds it back in my opinion.

I'll go with MS-63.
Errers and Varietys.

since you have a challenge determining luster try posting photos without any overhead light. only diffused light. that may help. we need to see the surfaces as they look when you have the coin in hand

Thanks @panzaldi. Pics were taken by a window on a sunny day. I did have a ceiling fan light on overhead but I've threaten to throw the thing away because it's not bright enough.
I'll look into figuring out other ways to control the lighting.
It's pretty cloudy day today so I'll post a shiny 1881 by the window and see how it comes out.
