Got this fresh and I am quite pleased with it.
Sorry about it being in a 2x2, I hope the pictures are OK to grade with.
I made two sets / differnt lignting conditions.

What do you say?

German grade would be a VZ+ I think.

Looks very close to mint state if not.

Looks like an AU-58 to me.

Can you say why? I bought it as MS (STGL) and I do not see any wear*. Its also very low on contact marks and has nice luster. I prsonally would have graded it MS65 or even higher.

*Critical point is the flower closest to Ceres' brow in my experience & this feature is fully detailed here.

I think the photos of the coin in the holder are what is making the luster dull and giving it a circulated look. Can you remove it and post new photos?

Much better. Nice luster and virtually no marks. Easy MS-65.
