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 EF-45. To me a details coin,(scratched), but it probably went straight.

This is WB-3, Large O, This is the only use of this obverse die and only use of this reverse die.
It has a rarity of 3 which is 201-500 known.
I'll say this is a straight grade at XF-45, perhaps maybe even an AU-50.

I've got this at AU50. Can't tell much about the surfaces. The mark on the right of Liberty's torso is pretty distracting at least to me.

I agree with AU-50, but not sure if the surfaces are original.

The first set of photos is much more flattering; I see a coin with solid AU detail and original-looking surfaces. The second set reveals the distracting scratch across Liberty's torso and presents a less-natural color and overall look.
XF-45 may reflect a bit of net-grading.
