AU 55 sounds about right.

I think it's AU RB.

It depends on the field luster and whether or not it cartwheels. I can't read the luster from these pictures. Looks like it's very lightly stained, especially the obverse. If it exhibits strong luster, I lean toward mint state. There's hardly a tick on this coin. That's always amazing for an AU example. Even the rims don't show like a circulated coin. I lean toward MS.

Not seeing any cartwheel effect so it probably isn't an MS finish.   |

Those pics aren't really helpful.

What kind of light are you using? It appears to be diffused rather than direct. Luster does not pickup well with diffused light, I abandoned it over 10 years ago. With the correct direct light the luster will come out.

Notice how the cartwheel spokes come out in the 10 & 2 areas with direct light. I also recommend using a white background (I use a piece of copy paper) so we can gauge your white balance. It helps with the "mental calibration" in the determination of the color.   Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

I use a home made copy stand(black pipe mounted to a base and the SmallRig Super Clamp Kit connected to my camera)and some flex arm lights. I use the sony app image edge to connect to my computer and and I can move the lights to get the best photos and control the camera from my computer. The photos are all stored on my computer so I can pick the best ones. I have the sony zv-e10 and a sony A7Rii so far but I'm buying the sony 6700 as an upgrade to my zv e10.  |
