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."

Nice high end MS-64, but might squeak out a 65.

I'm at 63+, soft obverse pic masks many marks.

64 and a nice coin in all respects - but I will caveat that by mentioning the two vertical arcing scratches on the cheek (one that starts right above the designer initial, and a second that runs parallel to the left of that one) - those deserve a closer inspection just in case.

A 64 with that right obverse field, clearly muted in this pic?

I think this one could make a 64, even with that right obverse field. Clearer pictures would definitely help

There is a die crack from the cap to the rim, and a little chatter underneath, but I've seen far worse coins in 64 holders. The folks who grade Morgan dollars at PCGS/NGC - I think sometimes they have a hat full of "63" and "64" and just pick one at random, sort of like they do with MS69/MS70 ASE's and other moderns.

I'll say MS-64.
Errers and Varietys.
