You will need better pictures than that. Proper orientation and please crop them - cropping will make them larger and easier to see.

When showing pictures of Barber coinage make sure to give us a good view of LIBERTY on her band - seeing how many and the condition of the letters showing is a main grading area.
But with all said it looks to be a VF20.

VF details obverse surface corrosion. Not worth grading in my opinion.
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."

Low VF, possibly details as NS points out depending if that obverse is corrosion or just staining.

Although a semi-key date not worth the cost of TPG submission IMO.

I don't think this one makes VF. F12 most likely details ED

VF details - could have been a dug coin or improperly stored and then cleaned.
