I think it sneaks up on 50. Very nice example. I've liked some of the toned pieces you've shown a little better.

nice detail, unattractive surfaces. au53
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."

No toning whatsoever. Looks dead and lifeless.  |

Ef-45 and that may be generous. Going off of what MikeF said, this coin has fields that don't look natural; and very "washed out". My guess is that this coin has been over dipped and thus removed of almost all original patina, and even worse most of its luster. Though most over dipped examples that I have seen tend to straight grade, they also tend to be knocked down quite a few points; and seeing as this example has almost no luster, I can't realistically grade this coin any higher than the EF range. However I do still like this example for the strike quality and clean fields that most other examples that I have seen tend to lack.
