Hummm....that's a big contrast. I'll grade from the first photos only.
AU-50/53 sounds about right. It's a very nice BN coin.

I'll say AU-58, super example.

Honestly, I was going with XF45/AU50 with the first pic. And MS64Red with the second. I have no idea now that I know it is the first pic, except to say it def goes up past the xf range now.

there is such a disparity in the two sets of photos I'm confused also. I think I'm in the AU58 arena unless you can post better shots. don't scan use white background

I can't get a good feel for the grade from the photos, so I'll reserve judgment on the grade.
Just one quick comment. There are a lot of high grade survivors for 1916-D, but many of them have mushy strikes. Based on what I see on bourse floors, your coin definitely has a better than average strike. Regardless of technical grade, I could see an eye appeal price bump for your coin.
One possible issue I see is the discoloration on the right wheat stalk. If this is corrosion, it would be a real concern. If it's just superficial or an alloy mixing issue, it isn't a problem.

I don't see any circulation wear, maybe some bag marks.
I'd say MS60 or MS61.

AU58 or MS62BN.
nice beard detail in front of ear. I'm not seeing any wear that would indicate circulation. one of the first places you see it is where the bowtie meets the lapel and its fully separated and does not appear to have any rub of wear of any kind. if it was in circulation it was like for a day.

I'll stick with AU-58 - just don't see the luster for an uncirculated coin.
