I'll say AU50/53. These look like NGC photos which make just about everything look cleaned.

AU Details Cleaned. Definitely has some polishing going on from what I can see, but great detail remaining.

Bottom line - these dark and blurry pics aren't sufficient to accurately grade this coin.

I look at these photographs and it screems to be - over dippeed. It is likely the image. Someone desaturated the color. The purpose of posting an image for grading is to try to get a truest image as possible to the coin as it looks in the hand, and not the prettiest image or the image that will get you the best grades. Shoot the coin again and post it in full color and adust the color just enough to get the coin to look real.
This bust image, honestly, looksl like the coin was made from aluminum.

I apologize for the quality of the pictures. It's graded EF45 by NGC. If I manage to get better pictures I'll repost here. Thank you

it is that slick silver color? No tone?

Unfortunately it appears that you have a harshly cleaned coin in a straight graded NGC holder.

The original pictures looked better. After seeing the cleaning scratches, I would have to stick with my grade of xf but also label it as details-cleaned.

Its not white, it has a light golden hue to it.
My fear was it might have been dipped, I really dont see scratch marks when I look under a loop, I know it appears that way in the images. I really need to figure out taking good pictures.

Very possible that what I am seeing are scratch marks on the slab and not on the coin. Even wiping the slab plastic with a soft tissue can leave streaks like that. Yet another reason why it is so hard to assess a coin from merely pictures.

there are definitetly scratches in the glass, as you can see a scratch in the upper right hand prong.
