I think it makes xf40. Obverse looks stronger than reverse. Stars and wreath leaves weakly struck.
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'll say VF-30. No way this makes 40. Almost no definition in hair above Liberty.

I'll split the difference between the previous posters and say VF-35. I don't think there's quite enough detail to get to XF.

I just got in hand today. Totally original surfaces, beautiful original patina with slightly lustrous fields.
I am torn between VF35 and XF40 but I am usually quite conservative when it comes to grading so VF35 is my grade.
