@steph, since you are asking about the grade, I'm going to move your thread over to the correct subforum. Also, it is always preferable to take pics of your coin outside of the flip or 2x2 when asking about grade. That extra layer of plastic between the coin and the camera can mask important details.

Looks like an MS-63 to me. CH BU in old terms.

I'll say MS-63+, not a gem.

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."

I think it's clean enough to get a 64.
Nice peripheral toning. Looks like a very old flip.

Nice fields, but the first pic suggests the cheek is a mess.

MS63
It is considered Choice Uncirculated (Choice BU)

always remove from holder. this is one reason why you can't get a good photo. also avoid overhead lighting as it create glare and obscures surfaces.
a nice strike for an 83(O) which are typically very weak.
definitely no less than MS63. would like to see out of the holder and without the glare but she looks pretty close to a 64

I think the chatter on the mouth and that long scratch near the chin would hold this one back to MS-63. Luster is great though so has a shot at a 63+ or even 64.
