Darn. I looked that one over pretty thoroughly but it does indicate a grade at the top of the circulation range at 58.
Although the high point rub is extremely light, the largest field areas do show a light rub. That is also why the toning seems questionable, but it's not.
I believe the toning is as it should be for light rub on those fields and the apparent differentiation of dark and light color.

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 scanner really does change the color. Need a solid camera for it, not a phone camera or scanner

UNC range, not going to give # because I don't like that color.

AU-58, I think there is a trace of wear, and not much luster.

I was pretty far off from others on this one. It is most likely not a 66, but I still think it makes MS.
The scans don't help, as it flattens a coin and transfers no luster whether apparent in hand or not.

AU58. the dullness of the surfaces to me indicates it may have had a light light cleaning at one time. I think its market acceptable and should grade straight

AU details cleaned, the darkness around the first four feathers is not normal.

My first impression was UNC details, although moxking's explanation makes a good sense.

Not worth it, I know, but I was too curious. Sent to PCGS today. Will update in a few weeks with grade and pictures.
