How would you grade this?
Photos are taken with a cellphone...

First two Pictures I Think give justice to it's color.
This is my first IHC and with no experience in grading these coins my guess is AU53-55.
What do the experts Think?

I paid $5 at my local coin dealer.

XF-40, I don't think it is AU material. Nonetheless, it's a good deal for $5.

Maybe it's the lighting but it looks recolored/painted to me. Either way still a good deal for $5.
Rest in Peace

Has that "Dellers" look to me. However, for $5 not a terrible coin.

There is no doubt this coin has been darkened. The matte chocolate appearance and wreath and near shield tells all.

Recolored.
