Only a slight bit of wear, and the luster looks decent; I would say full AU55 with a shot at AU58 depending on how luster of the fields is in-hand. Very nice Shield.

Well certainly AU-58 at the worst, but I can't tell much from these pics.

Obverse surface looks a little weird and looks almost polished.  I don't see an original surface. Kind of shiny for a nickel. Reverse looks better, but not booming with luster. 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."

the lighting used is reflecting off the surfaces and imitating some luster. after blowing the pics up the coin may have had a dip but it was light and I dont think would warrant a details designation
