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."

Dies were overpolished in some areas (not a defect.)
I'd be AU50/AU53 depending on luster in hand.

I'll say AU.
Errers and Varietys.

Looks AU53 to me, maybe a 55.

Still at 53, obverse luster is very weak.

I agree with mid-AU. Having a hard time attributing this one. Looks like a VAM-33, but there are features added/missing here. That would make it a 7/8 TF variety. This may be a die stage that hasn't been catalogued. Have you ever been to the VamWorld forums? If you load your photos there, they could probably pin it down for sure if you're interested.
