I was wondering what you would grade this one.

I also noticed something going on with the reverse. I thought maybe tooling of some sort but there appears to be extra metal. It's most noticeable around the 'C'in cent, 'O' in one, and 'ME' in America.

Looks VF35 in terms of sharpness. Extra metal usually occurs due to die chips in damaged dies. Looks like multiple and extensive damage in the reverse die.
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."

Looks like an N-3 R-4 very late die state to me. I would grade this as upper VF 30 to 35. Very nice coin! Would love to find one that nice.
