My guess is that this is natural toning. Many of these have that pretty dark rainbow thing going on. My '92 looks a little like this but not as appealing as this one.

au detais at imho. looks like it has been sprayed with sulfide gas inside the slab.
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 believe this is going to grade: AU 55 Dets, Questionable color.

There is some luster, it may have been lightly cleaned very many decades ago, but it has very nicely toned since then.  Attractive example. AU50. |

AU-55, and I would think the toning looks market-acceptable.

Looks ok to me as well, or at least market acceptable.
I'd say AU58, but if there is luster I'd go as high as 62. Just hard to tell by the photos if there is luster.

Authentic ... mid to high AU and market acceptable toning ... my opinion FWIW
This is not an expensive coin ... similar example abound at major shows for $10 each ... but still a lovely piece of USA coinage history

Thank you to ALL for your input.
I am not into grading in depth, Bought the coin for 9 just because it was eye appealing "to me"
Thanks again everyone
