  The True View's exaggerate the colors and toning. Still looks nice in hand. Straight Graded . Curious where you think she landed grade wise. 73S is A tougher coin

for me the mottled toning lowers the eye appeal for this one.
AU58 or MS62/63. I'm going with MS62

MS-62 sounds about right.

A large amount of contact marks on the obverse beneath the branch. Scattered marks everywhere else. This looks like a circulated coin, AU-53.

I agree, looks a little worn in places but I like the toning. AU55.

It looks cleaned and re-toned to me. It still might straight grade as an AU.

There are some small flat areas of wear on the high points of the designs, both sides.
I agree the it was cleaned, but now nicely re toning.
AU-50
Pleasing coin to have in most collections, and nicer than mine.

AU58. Nice looking coin!  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."

The True View photo makes the coin look MS 62, so I am going to knock the grade down to 61/58. The coin appears to have a liquid stain on both obverse and reverse, but still has a nice overall look.

Seems undergraded at 53. Nice pick up.
