This looks like terminal toning that won't go away with dipping, but it can't hurt. Just don't do the reverse so you don't disturb the luster there.

Might as well try, it's not a big investment.

I try to buy coins only with original surfaces, but then comes the type of tarnish/toning oxidizing pattern. There may be someone out there who will pay you $25 - that is subjective. If you have never dipped a coin (I never have), read all of the above recommendations before doing so. Plus there is the cost of the dip. If it's your idea of having fun - go for it - cheap entertainment

That type of toning is etched (at least slightly) on to the surface. Any attempt to improve this coin, will make it worse.

If you truly want this coin graded, you might consider one of the TPG's. Have seen a LOT worse toning straight graded.

Looks like a common date AU Peace dollar with fairly unattractive toning. Not worth the grading fees, and although I'm a proponent of originality this particular coins most likely future is to be melted for silver value. A good candidate for experimentation.

For the grade, I would think AU-58.
