MS-62. The coin might have QC'd at the grading company.

Common date, not much appeal to a collector of this series.

You are seeing a guardhouse defender holder, not a TPG holder. I would not send this coin off for grading.

Where would the questionable color be?

I see mixed alloy.

You have a good amount on your ebay.

Just a thought. Could it have been shellaced? It has an odd sheen.

Nice example of an S-4, the top of the misplaced digit is clearly visible in the denticles below the 5.

I'm suspicious that the obverse has been burnished and recolored, and the reverse may have been recolored as well.
The area around the ear, and the lock in front of the ear, are my main concerns. I think I have an S-4 in my own collection; if so I can see if mine has the same shallow strike in those areas.

Unc Details (63BN) if it's been recolored or otherwise altered; straight grade 63BN otherwise.

The pinkish hue of the Indian is pretty obvious. Looks like it also has oil or like John suggested, shellac. Just my opinion so take that for what it's worth. I mean no disrespect to Humble.

Looks 63bn. I like the look of this one.
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."

That's a beauty. MS-64 BN. Nice original color in my opinion with traces of red.
