It looks like it could make AU-53.

I agree with the others that the obverse is AU, probably in the 53 range. The look of the reverse concerns me for possible cleaning. It's got that light grayish look which happens after a coin as been gone over with baking soda. Why only one side as been worked upon is a good question.

My thinking was it might have been stored in an album at some point. I'll have a better idea when I see it in hand. Hint: it is way undergraded.

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."
