Is the toning on this 1971 Eisenhower dollar decent enough to be suitable as a door prize?

With silver so high, it's tough to offer even silver half-dollars as door prizes these days for our under-funded coin club. How would you feel getting this as a door prize instead? FWIW, our meeting is tomorrow!

I estimate the grade as MS-63 and the coin was popped out of a Whitman folder:

    I would say any coin short of PMD is suitable as a door prize. We always have coin club members willing to donate coins as door prizes.

    The color of the toning reminds me of the sky which is kinda cool for the Apollo theme

    It is perfectly OK for a door prize.

    Any “prize” should be acceptable! The toning on that Ike is attractive. I would be happy to receive it as a door prize.
