I like the look of this coin. Semi proof like in hand . More so on the reverse . I was a little worried about the darker area on the lower reverse but it Looks ok. Generally pretty coin   Edited by JasonKflo

My concern with the coin is a possible dip and the dark area on the reverse did not come off.

Slider I wouldn't doubt it though overall the coin doesn't have a real dipped look to it .
It is straight graded at pcgs and otherwise looks great

AU58
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."

Dipped without a doubt. I can see PCGS giving it an AU-58 although it deserves a net or details in my opinion.

A dip?
I would have liked to have seen the 'before' and 'after'.

I'm going with AU58. I don't think they would have netted the coin down due to the eye appeal and discoloration we see but  |

AU-55 is what they called it

Deduction on eye appeal for the discoloration but still a high-end example. Contact marks visible but not excessive. It appears to be a classic slider with little or no apparent wear but notable luster loss on the high points of the devices. I think it pulled a Mint State grade and my guess is PCGS MS63.
Edit: Just saw your post said AU55. That is a harsh grade based on those images.
