What do you guys think of this one?

I will say it definitely has been cleaned/dipped in the past because the coin is completely yellow (but not a bright canary yellow). The pictures don't quite show that the coin is yellow as it is in hand. Some luster, as you should be able to see in the photos, remains in the protected areas like around the rims.

I am thinking around AU-50. It may have been cleaned but it doesn't all that look bad.

I have his little brother in my dansco album. It is a 1873 Open 3 $1 coin, and I never noticed there was a design difference between the two coins of the same date until I saw this one. The $1 coin is the Indian head of this date and the $2 1/2 is the Liberty head design. Guess thats what I get for not paying attention
