I see slightly better at VG10
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."

I think this is a strong VG-10 and an amazing cherry-pick! Very strong doubled eye/nose/headdress still remaining and a good amount of detail left. Big congrats! That is a very handsome example. One of those varieties I'm always happy to see in any condition.

Thanks everyone! This was a pretty exciting find! I have it at VG, but torn between 8 and 10. Almost enough to see some of Liberty. Best one I have found unattributed.

It's very difficult to pick this variety in grades above VG, and even in VG it's a struggle. Best I've got is G-06 details with the eye doubling showing. Once the LIBERTY starts to show more it's gets super tough to cherry-pick. Again, amazing coin!

I'm also at VG-10. Good eye to spot that! (Well, good doubled eye!)
