Rub on the left breast

I think AU58 but I've seen coins just like this in 62-63 holders

Au53-55. The coins is sharply struck and doesn't show a lot of wear. Weak luster with hardly any in the fields. The surfaces look a little grainy which is a little concerning as that may be the result of chemical exposure. There are dark surfaces that seem to show a little bit of pitting or corrosion, especially above liberty's head and on the cheek. Likely market acceptable.

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."

Beautiful coin. I'm not seeing any obverse rub and am torn between a slightly lighter strike on the reverse, or circulation rub.

Given the toning separation I'd be at 58.

It looks well struck with no lustre remaining so AU53 for me.

If it was recently graded 50, otherwise a 53/55 depending on the luster.

Could be, there could be some there though. That picture style completely wipes the luster out even when it's there on Seated coins, but with just the picture we don't know if it should be there or not.
