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 am at MS64, and I could be talked into a 65.

MS-64 sounds right based on these photos. The lighting might be hiding some surface marks though.

For me, too much glare to get a solid feel.

I agree the glare could be hiding some issues, but the upside may be worth the gamble.

I'm thinking MS-64, possibly MS-65.
Errers and Varietys.

marks along the entire jaw line in the recessed area where it meets the jaw. thats not something that imo would occur if it was banging around other coins. you would see some residual of that on the jaw itself. could be the photos/light but the luster seems to be missing cross the cheek and neck. marks across ONE DIME may not be from circulation but just want to point them out. the large leaf under the D appears to have either cabinet rub or circulation wear on its high points.
AU58 or MS63+ if all the luster is there on the profile i'll push my grade to MS64
