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."

64, but I see hairline scratches on head, maybe more in different light.

lighting not the best here NS as its making the surfaces dull void of most luster. if the luster is broken across the surfaces I would say UNC details (cleaned) otherwise MS63, there is a fine line between acceptable dip and cleaned this one may be borderline

96P is an issue very common in gem grade. They are often well-struck and lustrous. It's fairly hard to get a higher grade on these, but technically I agree with MS63/64. Unsure about luster or past cleanings based on these photos.

Interesting clashing! I will stay with MS63/64. Thanks for the updated photos.

i dont think she was dipped. I'm on the fence with missing luster on the obverse left field and across the face. that going to keep it out of the MS64 box. AU58 slider or MS63. I'm leaning slider on this one. small reeding hit in front of ear area also. as a slider the price is correct as a MS63 excellent price.
