I love it too. Strong strike there. Very deep details.
Do you think our host would assign this a numerical grade or details?
Great strike. It might just be my monitor, but the color in the obverse devices looks green to me. I usually stay away from anything green on coins. The reverse looks amazing.

Hard to tell, I haven't seen that look with silver coins much. A dealer showed me an Unc. Mass. Colonial cent today that looked to me a no problem Unc., but I am no expert on those. It had some minor dark spots. These folks need to get their valuable coins in plastic with a sharp conservation expert possibly first to examine, but I doubt this one needs it.

Nice strike but odd color. There is probably a reason why a coin like that is still raw more than 30 years into the slab era.
It has a sharpness grade of AU, but the color, especially on the reverse does not look natural. As the others have said, sometimes coins are raw for a reason.
At first I thought it was an impaired proof.
That is why I bought it. It has the die chip below the hand and the reverse indicators of the branch mint proof. I can't make out the lines in the shield but will be able to investigate when I have it in hand Tuesday. Fun stuff
Nice strike, however, as those preceding have said, it appears to be either added color or the remains of a dip poorly neutralized.....needs conservation. Cheers, RickO
Thanks for the opinions fellas, I'll update good or bad when in hand.
I picked up this one today, a seasoned PNG dealer said the coin had AU details with a little smudge on right that should come off with acetone:
My coin just graded AU50 at PCGS, thanks for their efficient service.
I personally like the coin, but not the toning. Is the toning artificial?

not for me. i dont care for the reverse that much. its still a nice coin but no thanks
Plus the op's coin is too blotchy.
The first coin looks nice except for the reverse color. It looks like kinda fake toning....Just my opinion...
