well...I'm way off from everyone else on this one. I have the obverse at XF40 and reverse at VF35

 I graded this coin exactly where panzaldi did. Thought I was in an island by myself for a while.  I have it net 35. 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."

I like this at XF-40. Obverse die cracks look cool.

VF-30. Gorgeous original tone.

I Think this would grade a solid VF-35, with a chance of EF-40. If you paid $75 is a good buy.

Wish I could have paid $75... Wholesale is twice that for VF35.

Feels like I am consistently grading one grade below where PCGS is on Pre-Civil War issues. I think there is a little bit of grade inflation in the pre-war seated liberties. But they are PCGS and they set the market grading standard. Wholesale on this one is $200. Retail is $275. This issue seems to sell between $275-300 on ebay and between $200-250 on Heritage. I paid just under $200 and thought it was fair. I like the coin, but will likely upgrade it later if something prettier comes around.

I would say VF-30 or 35. The reverse is better than the obverse. Coins like this seem to make it into EF-40 holders these days although they shouldn't.
OOPS!
I didn't look at page two, but I'll stick by what I said.
