AU58. Luster looks muted.
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."

Sorry, I have a microscope that I can't get the entire coin in a photo and I have a cheap phone. Maybe these are a little better, I hope.   |

Definitely worth grading. Make sure you use NGC / PCGS variety attribution service since there is already a Snow number.
Looks mid-high AU to me. Can't get a feel for the surfaces very well.

Some kind of collar issue?
Obverse strike where it counts is strong.
Reverse strike from 11-3 a little soft...maybe collar related or just a soft strike...?
If the open fields are really that nice and there's still some luster...
AU-58 - MS-63 I'm leaning MS
Beauty!

The copper nickel cents were hard. This one has a great strike. It could be MS. Top of the shield is the only place with some striking weakness.

I just looked at the photos you posted on the link John1 provided. Looks like an MS-63 to me.

Definitely worth grading and attribution to bring max money when you sell it! (Or your heirs sell it!)
