au53. toning looks weird in the obverse. the stars in the left of the coin show white halos. the stars on the right have dark edge toning, some with halos. my cleaning antennae are up.
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 can see AU-53 as well, perhaps even 55.

AU53, cleaned a long time ago and retoned?
Saw something similar at Long Beach Coin Show a few days ago with details grade.

55 and I like it if there isn't a premium on price for the toning

Over exposed lighting is killing the surface of that coin, probably an attempt to bring out faint color in the toning. Beautiful coin the should be in a MS holder. I'd believe anything from 62-64 but would be a wild guess for me since I can't actually see what the coin really looks like with those over lit pics killing the surface appearance
