If it hasn't been cleaned it looks AU53 to 55.

Cleaned (my guess is dipped.) Same color across entire coin reverse and obverse, no toning at all even in the smallest crevices.
I'm at AU details. If somehow it's original surfaces, I'd say it makes a technical AU55 but it's so baggy that I think it might get knocked down to AU50 just for the obverse hits. Reverse is rather more appealing.

AU Dets. Might been lightly polished. How much did you pay?

Good fined. Probably dipped recently and my grade is AU Details.

Also at AU-50, cleaned. I'd be happy to do a lot of garage sales if I could find one of these for a good price.

It does look unnaturally bright. |

Yes, I concur it seems a bit too much of a "blazer" but it was part of the remnants of a collection that was part of an estate, and certainly none of the other coins had been obviously cleaned, and many of them were certainly candidates, so while that proves nothing, I don't think it was this particular collector's practice to do so. I will say that if cleaned, it was certainly dipped, I see no evidence whatsoever of wiping. In MS, dipped coins often pass through without getting tagged with a "details" annotation, but a specimen with some obvious high point wear such as this may not receive that benefit of the doubt.

$10 as part of a lot that included nine Morgan/Peace dollars (all common and circulated), and a few dozen foreign silver coins.
