This is a coin I came across recently. I was not sure about how to grade it. Wanted to get feedback from people with more experience. I appreciate any comments on grade and potential value. Thanks guys, I will post pics below

Reverse looks a nice AU-55 with the obverse not having the nicest strike. AU-53 overall.

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."

These are honestly the worst coins to grade. There was so much inconsistency to strike. I will grade this one XF-45 due to the wear on the shield.
