Looks like there is some rub on the high points of both sides. I'll go with AU.

AU55 details cleaned. Unfortunately I don't think this coin has market acceptable cleaning.

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 surfaces look like they were exposed to a chemical dip.

AU-50 (Lots of luster is already gone and reduced to protective area, don't see cleaning here, but too much wear above the ear to go any higher, and there are too many marks as well)

AU, details, cleaned. Too long on a single dip or several dips. Enough metal removed to give it that flat, dead look.
