Bag mark, but it should still make 64. Lovely clash.

Well, that's a shame. Definitely no way to 65 then. Thanks!

I think it is a minor strikethrough. Shot at 65.

The chatter in the cheek and the left obverse field add to the argument for 64. Nice coin nevertheless.
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'll say MS-64.
Errers and Varietys.

It won't get above MS-64 with that field gash.

add that mark to the ones under the eye and behind the nose I agree with MS64. due to shadowing can't really tell if the luster is broken across the cheek as well.

Well jdavis18, I just don't see a coin that's been preserved well enough to make 64. It has a lot of small scratches and rim nicks. There's also a couple of dark spots near the rim on the obverse. It looks like it was pressed into an album at some point. It just doesn't look super well-preserved to me.

I think it is a strike through or minor lamination. I still don't see it as a 65. MS-64.
