AU Dets. I absolutely despise that toning. Let them conserve it first.

It is going in for conservation (along with everything else I'm sending in), but the toning would not make it a details graded coin (since it is natural toning lol)

I think it could reach MS64 if it is indeed mint state. Best of luck and looking forward to your results.

I have no expertise with grading the series ... so the grade opinion AU55/AU58 is to be accepted with the noted caveat.
Your photographs show lots of flat spots that could be rub ... or could be strike related.
Someone with experience with this series (not me) would know the difference ... hence my opinion.
I do concur that the surface colors ... toning as it is ... is not pleasant to my eye ... but works for you.
Let us know what the PCGS wizards suggest ...

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."

Again, the fingerprints/toning are not something that would make it a details graded coin

Not saying the prints make it a details coin. Just makes it ugly, maybe a good dip.

That would be interesting if there were a "details - ugly" designation at the TPGs. Probably wouldn't be good business practice to disrespect your customers' submissions that way.

Interestingly enough, PCGS will give coins grades of 65+ that have fingerprints on them. Take for instance the highest graded 1890CC Tailbar Morgan, its a 65+ and has some big fingerprinting on the reverse. http://www.PCGScoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/87198Edited by XavierOfGreen

Fingerprints don't affect the technical grade. It does figure prominently in evaluation of eye appeal which affects the final grade determination. Eye appeal is highly subjective, but critical in determining value, more than grade.
