There is original cartwheel luster. This pair was taken with the cheesiest Canon Powershot camera.
The sunlight at the window changed between the two pics I took a little while ago. No photo-shopping, Just combined and resized to post.

What grade do you give this one? I don't see much in distracting dings or rubs.

My only Trade dollar. Thanks

MS62. Looks like the obverse was wiped. Very nice and bag mark free.
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 didn't wipe her but yes the obverse is not as good as the reverse for surface.
Anyway ... Thanks mods for moving. Sorry I posted in the other section.

there is a good chance those swipe marks are die polish lines as they do not extend over any of the devices. it would be very difficult for someone to wipe that coin like that and not hit the devices. MS63 easy. I think it can go 64

I'll say 62 or 63. Not cleaned, but "thumbed".

On my screen, 3X original size.
A TPGrader will examine these sort of coins in hand with a 10x loupe, without any digital visual intervention in between. Therefore, much harder for me to grade.

I will go with MS62, but I may be wrong, and perhaps be a couple of grades too high.

Thanks everyone. I was thinking MS63 too. It does look nicer in hand but the balking we all did, I agree, would keep it from getting anything higher.

I think the obverse hairlines will hold it back from MS-64. MS-63
