I hope you realize it's going to be hard to judge surface quality and accurately grade this coin with those pics but I'll take a stab. VF-35 cleaned.

Weak strike? Or, are the photos fuzzy. Perhaps my eyes..  I will say VF35 too.. possibly 40 with a weak strike. |

Ok definitely cleaned and probably repaired. There's something going on in the right obverse field and it isn't good.

Close to VF25..
Definitely cleaned, so it's a details coin.

VF details cleaned. Looks like the obv field has also had an attempt to remove some scratches or graffiti.

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."
