I'll go with an AU-53 also. Pretty nice coin for an '09! Strong, clear details.

Photos aren't the best. I'm thinking high XF-low AU range.

KerryKz did you play with photo adjustments on this? the obverse photos just are not sharp enough. the first rev photos is angled, the next one is not in focus at all and the last obv photo is angled

do not use overhead iighting. shoot straight on from about 3" above coin. if using a phone enlarge it so that it fills the view finder. that may help

without better photos I'm in the XF45 to maybe AU53 box but thats about as close as I can get

KerryKz if you have phone try using that and these instructions to help get better photos

1. if coin is in holder, remove coin from holder if possible
2. turn off flash
3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color
4. move phone about 3in from coin
5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it
6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring
