If you ask me its uncirulated or at the least its MS65. I can read the liberty in the band perfectly and the lines in the shield are all there. and the wreath is in excellent condition

I have to agree, this coin has circulated. With these pics my best guess will be VF details.

That's a toughie due to the darkness...but here's the best I could do to resolve some details.
If I squint my eyes, I can imagine that LIBERTY and possibly the lower headband is there.
To hazard a total guess, it might be F15 details--not sure if that's just deep toning or some corrosion too.

I know nobody can see this but to give you a idea on how good the details are I can see the necklace perfectly and each bead of it.

Logan - you may want to remove it from the holder and take pictures that way. Also, don't forget to crush down your staples when you go to seal it up again. You want to avoid a possible scratch of an adjacent coin.

You'll note that even on relatively well circulated coins, the shields stay pretty clean. The thing to look for are the diamonds in the headband (how many do you see?). 4 diamonds being the best and steps down from there. Seeing the full LIBERTY is a good start, but you'll find that you can read that on lesser classed coins.

I'm sure the group here can help hazard a grade for you then.

You really need a much better picture to get grading opinions.
