I'll say AU-58 here. No sparkle, no pop.

I'm with Kanga on grade . looks like two different die cracks . The other one is from the bottom star on right side to 3rd star up . There can also be another light crack extending up to the 1st star on top right .

Obverse appears cleaned with those hairline scratches and tone back.

AU-53 detail.

I don't see any wear and the faint hairlines seem minor enough to qualify as "market acceptable". Marks and subdued luster suggest MS-62 to me.
Pretty nice Barber overall.

I say most of you are spot on with this one.
It's an older white holder ANACS AU55
Die cracks on both sides may bump it up just in theory.
Some folks like!...Some folks don't!
Anyhow, thanks for your participation.

Was gonna guess 55.

After seeing the slab photo, I think it should be lower then 55 maybe.
