53. Nice toning and eye appeal. Don't know what your old coin in album looked like but congrats on the upgrade. Very attractive.  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."

The color is very attractive, but I think that the grade is limited to AU-55 given the rub in the fields. Some might pay a premium for the color.

What do you see that suggests cleaning?

53 seems about right, very attractive toning.

I can agree with most that this one has a little more meat than what PCGS gave her - AU50.
Thank you for your participation!

Was that one graded a while ago? I have been severely disappointed with the AU-50 I've seen of late. The old EF-40 has become the AU-50, and the AU-55 and 58's have become the new Mint State coins.  |

I just love the rays of the 53 and this is a nice example. I have it at AU53. I'm looking for a little more original luster out of a 55. the reverse has great eye appeal
