f12 seems right but there is some surface pitting that suggests corrosion.
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."

I'm going to put it at VG-10 only because I don't care for coins without a clear full date .  |

VG-08 tops, and I'm not even sure a VG grade can be given without a full date.

I don't think that you can apply post-1924 slq grading standards to earlier coins that had an exposed date in the obverse design. Type 1 slqs are even more lax on the exposed date in the obverse. Photograde is helpful in illustrating the difference in grading standards for slqs by date/period.

I don't disagree. This is not my series and I am unsure how experienced collectors grade these. I have no problem with VG.  |
