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."

Hard to tell for sure with the out of focus photos. Maybe MS-64.

Agreed that these pics don't allow much conjecture. Hope that's a round O reverse (most likely blur from being out-of-focus) and that she will pull at least MS63/64. There are indications of anomalies on Liberty's face and in the field in front of said face.

The hair above her forehead definitely looks worn and not just poorly struck. AU for me.

I think this is MS63/64, based on the severity of the hits and scrapes on the obverse. Perhaps the next one into the hopper landed on her forehead and pirouetted in the left-hand field.  The reverse is weakly struck and it is the conventional Oval-O mintmark. I consider the subtle gold toning a plus. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae

AU58. the 84(O) can be softer strike so this is typical but your photos are showing some circulation wear on the higher points of the devices and wing tips

Field marks will hold this to MS-63.
