When I think "humble type collection" this is exactly the type of coin I dream of. I don't want to clarify too much, as that may reveal a bit too much about what PCGS called this one up front. This coin was submitted recently, and has never been at any shows or auctions (it is a common coin anyway), and thus has not been resubmitted over and over again.

Not good at grading, but I'll guess MS-63.

Is that long scratch across the cheek in the first pic accurate?

Yeah, it's there, but hard to see unless the lighting is just right. I tried to make sure to bring it out for grading purposes.

Thanks. I'll say MS-62, just not a fan despite the lovely color.

I had a quarter quite similar to this with an exacto mark on the cheek. MS-62 was the grade and I think this the same.

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."

Obverse has a little friction rub / cabinet rub across the cheek, reverse looks untouched. I'd be around MS63. I don't see enough marks to drop the grade any lower.
