I'll say AU. However, I am not a pro at grading.
Errers and Varietys.

Looks AU58 but the luster seems to be missing. Hammer strike is the best feature of this coin imho. What's going on in the eagle's shield?
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."

Man this is the crispiest, crunchiest, most crusty coin! Choice AU-58.

Essentially no wear but lack of luster indicates it's seen a bit of circulation.
The uniform gray color might be from retoning after an old dip; if so the result is very attractive and there is no sign of abrasive cleaning.
NGC AU-58 seems possible.
