What do you think this $1 grades? Is the color suspicious?   |

I'd say Au-53. I don't think the toning would be considered AT but an In hand inspection is needed.

Not sure about grade as it appears to me to maybe have had a past cleaning but the color and patina appear to be natural. What service graded/slabbed that coin?

Agreed, AU-53. Unsure about the color. Looks to be potential old cleaning.

As you probably know, Heritage has a large inventory of SLD hitting within the next month.
I'd have to break from the crowd at a 50, rather than 53.
Toning is okay. It doesn't make the eye appeal better or worse.
A slightly above average eye appeal overall.

53 shot at 55. some hairlines in reverse fields would need examination
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."
