Hard to tell. Luster seems decent so it could be anywhere from a au55-ms63. Could be a weak strike or could be wear. More pics would help. There's a big price jump between mid/high AU to low ms.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it is close to MS63. Typical strike from the New Orleans mint from that era. The light russet toning looks natural and is very appealing. Definitely a candidate for third party grading. Do not clean it or try to make it look better!
Better pictures would help.

Typical soft center strike. Poor strike rather than circulation. Lovely natural tone. No indication of cleaning or dipping. High end 63.

After further review that coin is already in an NNC basement slab at MS63.
Based on what we know about the seller/slabber I would not trust the slab or pictures to be an accurate rendition of what the coin really looks like.
Tread cautiously if you persue this coin.

looks like a softly struck 64 from pics.
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."

From those pictures, I would think MS-63.

Based on pictures, no way the coin is Unc. A weak strike would still show luster on the weak devices. AU tops.
