I'll guess AU-55. I do see some circulation wear like Maine Member pointed out. I was wrong about it being MS.

If that is a gouge on the right side field it may fall to AU details.

AU55. chance she was cleaned. A couple markers. the duller surfaces but not completely removed, in the field in front of the nose looks like someone was attempting to remove something or make the scratches less prevalent. the toning may not be original. original toning tends to transition smoothly so possible AT, the scratch is bigger concern.

AU55/58 and possibly cleaned/retoned.

Yes that is a gouge on obverse. I got this coin at a coin show awhile back as a freebie if you will for purchasing a rare date I have not posted to this forum yet. I agree toning looks altered. But I think the gouge and the tone give it a rebellious look lol

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."
