I've had bad luck getting these coins to straight grade at PCGS/NGC. They tend to slap "environmental damage" labels on them willy-nilly, paying little heed to the planchet issues common for the type.

Beautiful coin! I'd say VF-25. Not sure about sending it for grading—I'd be really annoyed if this came back in a details holder for ED.

I've seen the same issues that paralyse noted that he had bad luck getting these coins to straight grade at PCGS/NGC. I don't think the graders are aware or trained on individual series and the issues prior to and during striking. its basically the same issue that they have with bust half strikes. if they are going to assign grades on these coins you would think they would have a good knowledge base on the series they are grading.
I'm not seeing anything here that would detail the coin but the lighting is a little dark and who knows what that they look at.

Very nice example. I have two of this type but low grade, very worn.

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."

Quite a bit more roughness than originally visible. It is still a nice VF20, but will not straight grade at PCGS or NGC in my opinion. I think it's a nice example, regardless.
