I'd say G-04. Could probably use some acetone for the tape residue.

Assuming that's not a scratch in the right obverse field, G-04.

G-4, appears to be tape residue on the obverse.

G details cleaned
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."

Classic G-04. Looks like a nice example for the grade. Acetone should be able to remove the cellophane tape residue. Let it soak a while and rinse it in distilled water. Whether it details or straight grades probably will depend on the appearance after the tape residue is removed. There can be distracting discoloration under old tape.
