Agreed with AU50, possibly 53. Removing coins from the flips before photos definitely helps.

Looks high grade. I'd say AU-58 but honestly not seeing much wear at all so could be better.

Is the streak from the rim to the "ME" of AMERICA on the coin or is on the 2x2 or glare from the light hitting the 2x2? It looks in the mid-AU range. Photos outside the 2x2 would help.

Nice one!

Lower end of the AU scale for me. Very nice hole filler. Would love to see photos of the coin out of the flip, taken with good (strong yet diffused) lighting.

Alright - its coming out of the flip.

Heres some pics out of flip - thanks for all the feedback. you guys are great!

Not sure if the lighting will be good enough. I do best with sunlight and its going down here so, I can try again later if these aren't good.

The new pictures are great, good white balance, they just need more light. I highly recommend this one:
