Looks nice for a tough type no motto. Thoughts?   |

Nice one. Strong eye appeal that makes XF40 to me.
NGC XF45.

Very attractive! I have been looking at these for the 7070, but still hardly an expert. I am in the 40~45 range, too, but I could justify a premium for the tone and the reverse.  |

It's 45, but it's an odd combo with light obverse and strong reverse strike. Looks original, but not one I'd get really excited about. I like a little more variation on the color, although that's only my personal choice.

I think it is close but not quite xf. VF35.
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 based on these images but I will say EF-40.

I'm at 40. It might be original but I'm not crazy about the toning. xf-vf coins should be darker.
Edit: Could get a graffiti designation. Looks like a T is crudely carved on the reverse @4 o clock

I like it as a XF40-45. Nice Dollar and a Branch Mint too!
