Grade? Obverse still has proof-like fields and the reverse still has quite a bit of cartwheel luster.

au-55 maybe 58 here. Nice toning. Too much wear on the hair or maybe soft strike. I'll leave it to the morgan experts.

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."

A real looker, but pics aren't large enough for me to judge from.

the surface chatter on this piece is being masked by some of the toning. when you blow this up you will see it pretty clear. AU53 would be highest I would grade this one

Gotta click on it to enlarge. It's like 3000×1500.

Seeing as AU53 as well, I am a tad bit skeptical about the toning to be honest. Either was it does have nice eye appeal in the photos

I'm not sure what to think of this one. Toning like this on a circulated coin is normally Run, Forrest, Run, but it's....so....pretty....

I agree. I think it may have been cleaned a looong time ago. I noticed it the most on the obverse. It has since toned after the cleaning.
