Based on the photos, I'd have to go with VF-25

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."

Strong high VF 35, but I wouldn't be surprised by a 40.

Surfaces look original.

Better enlarged photos. Well, at least I'm getting better.

Odd wear - flat stars on one side, full stars on the other.
Guesses so far are 25 to 45. I'll courageously land in the middle at VF35.

Full grade XF45 sharpness on both sides of the coin; attractive original toning. This coin has less bag marks/nicks, but more hairlines, than your 1867; this one also has a fairly noticeable scratch just left of the L in LIBERTY. The right side of the obverse is flatly struck, which is neither uncommon nor significantly detrimental. I'd buy both of them, one of each type (no motto and w/motto) but if you must choose one, the 1867 is the go-to.

Although it's really a VF+ an XF grade these days would be no surprise. I do like it better than the other one you posted despite the lower grade.

XF-40 seems like a fair grade. Surfaces look original and marks do not significantly detract. Nice example of a date not often seen!
