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."

Hard to tell the effectiveness of the fields, but some really nice frost on the devices. MS-64PL

Luster has been disturbed on the high points of the eagle's breast, indicating a very tiny amount of wear.
Will it still achieve some sort of MS grade despite this ?

Nice coin! Most of what I am seeing on the obverse is surface frost disruption, rather than deeper contact marks. There is one diagonal scratch on the chin, but the rest of the marks are smaller. I can't get a good feel for SPL/PL here. With the coin in hand, you will be able to assess PL status better than we can with photos. It's definitely a date known for beautiful PL coins.
This one looks at least MS-64, possibly PL, but not quite complete enough to be CAM. Again, nice coin.

Gorgeous specimen. I was at 63PL, but DMPL works too. The reverse is outstanding.

its practically impossible to call DMPL from photos without some type of depth perception so its hard to say if ICG is correct. this would something you need to do in hand using newsprint
