It's a nice looking piece that probably makes AU50 by current grading standards. Traditionally this would be an Extra Fine and I'd grade it XF45 on these images.

I got a borderline coin like this I just sent in for grading. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but like yours it's probably xf-45.

au50
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 reverse probably makes a 50, but the hair has some flatness along with noticeable knee wear, and even the bottom of the "L" in LIBERTY shows a little wear.
XF-45

I can't grade this coin, but I like it a lot.

AU50 sounds about right. reverse a little nicer than obverse but a decent 20C piece

I call this a Monday/Friday coin:
On Monday morning when the graders first show up at 8:30 am it would grade XF45....on Friday afternoon at 5:00 pm when the graders are ready to go home (or hit the bars) it would grade AU50.
Serious, it could go either way. Nice coin no matter how it grades!
