Might reach EF-40 with today's slack standards, but the fine obverse scratches are distracting.

Obverse looks lightly rubbed. Top feathers don't look complete so I'm in the VF35 side of the camp. Toss up for me as to whether it details or not.
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'd go VF-25. Wing lines should go all the way to the wing edge for an XF. Scratch on the neck is distracting but shouldn't cause a details grade.

I'll say VF.
Errers and Varietys.

I had this one at VF-30. You all pointed out the scratches that I am most concerned about. I am going to keep looking for a 1900. While the 1900 is a R1 rarity in all grades, I have had a lot of trouble finding a clean example in F-VF.
