Cartwheel is there but some light toning set in on the obverse making me scratch my head a bit. AU / UNC / Slider , Original / Wiped ... what you all think?   |

63-64. looks like it may have been wiped lightly in the left reverse field. not enough to details. obverse looks 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."

I think you've got a 1934-D there. The D is faint, on the reverse under the right side of the "O" in ONE. It sure looks like a D to me anyway.
I agree the coin looks 63 shot 64.

I know exactly what you are looking at because I was hoping it would be an "S" but under a loupe there is nothing there.

I'd put it around 63 but imo it really depends on the luster and just how noticeable everything is when you turn the coin and reflect light. Could also be 62 or 64  The open fields on both obverse & reverse look like they are missing luster. There is a bit of a scratch mark behind her hair down low, under the Y in liberty. Right by the same scratch, if you look at the inverted image, there may be a tiny bit of corrosion dimples on the surface near the edge of the coin and up into the Y in Liberty. Noticeable scratch on her jaw. On the reverse there are quite a few scratches above the eagle between the sun rays. "States of" looks scratched or damaged on the reverse. Under the eagle, above PEACE looks pretty worn. PEACE itself looks pretty worn. 5 o'clock on the reverse rim looks pretty dinged. Around the word "ONE" in ONE DOLLAR looks a bit worn Pretty weak lettering in PLURIBUS UNUM I've modified your photos to show more detail. The originals are a bit "washed out" and need more contrast. I've OVER contrasted the photos and "inverted" them as well.     |

COVID made me "use it or lose it" on a few grading certs. Not something I planned on sending in but what do you all think after glamour shots?  |

AU-55/58. Surfaces are very flat, but I'm not seeing a lot of contact marks, minimal luster remaining. It's a coin toss for me.

Wow...I guess I'm going to have to re-evaluate what I'm looking for when grading these?
I've always looked at the fields and the face/neck areas for nicks and dinks...
I have to start paying attention to the hair/bonnet more...
I still think she's a beautiful coin!
