A resubmission opinion is gonna be hard with these pics you provided. I mean it could be anywhere between VF-30 to AU something. The pics just aren't clear enough for me to provide an accurate assessment of wear and grade level. I can say for sure it's a heck of a lot better than VG!

I'm at VF-35. Traces of luster hint at a higher grade but I think the obvious wear over the high points pushes it just below EF.

It shows a little rotation on reverse!

Solid 40 kissing toward 45. Unless you received significantly less than that it probably wouldn't change the value a great deal.

VF-30. The ticks knock it down a grade imo.

VF-30, and either a die crack or damage to the shield. Chest is flat, pole has little separation from arm, hair has no separation from face or head, center of bow on reverse is worn. Some heavier contact marks on the chest.
On the plus side, surfaces look very original and the color is attractive. It might get up to VF-35.

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."

The lack of luster makes it a push at XF40. I'd go VF35 though. The second set of images show some obverse issues that might have resulted in a no-grade if you caught some bad luck.

Makes XF-45 IMO. A lot of luster still left in the protected areas. If it had a better strike on the head, I probably would say AU.
