This coin has what I would categorize as a pleasing toning. What would you grade it? Value?   |

Thanks for the opinions.
So here is the backstory:
A dealer, with whom I have a very good relationship, had this marked as BU with a price tag of $150. I argued that there was minimal wear (i believe that in hand it shows to be AU). He said that he bought it for Wholesale BU money ($95) and would only be able to part with it for a profit. I wanted to get it home to get some pics and share here, so we agreed upon a deal where I take it home and try to to sell it, and if I do I can come back and pay him $110.
I doubt that will happen, and I am okay with it. I got what I wanted from it.
There was one other coin that fell into the same category and we made a similar deal on. I plan to post it later to get your opinions.

I don't know, it could be a slider.
If it is, MS61.
If not, AU55.

AU53. Nice horn but muted luster. Good strike but showing some wear. Nice.
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."
