That color looks artificial. Too even. If it's deemed legit by the TPG gods, AU-50.

IMHO, a market acceptable, re-toned at AU53?

Strong XF45 or AU50. The feathers are a little worn on the left leg and neck of reverse and the hair and shield on the obverse also show a little wear. I would like to see this under different lighting.

AU-53, perhaps a tad better.

The color is so dark that I have my doubts as to whether PCGS or NGC will grade it. It has Choice AU sharpness, but I doubt that there is any mint luster left there.

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."

Looks like someone hit it with Deller's or a similar sulfur-based agent. AU55 sharpness, net grade AU50.

AU55 sharpness also. not sure if the color would pass but it does appear to be too even for a natural occurance

This one is graded AU-Details. Questionable color by PCGS.
