Seeing a maze of die polishing, Die Deterioration Doubling and some MD.

Yes, extensive die polishing artifacts and some Die Deterioration issues. Some circulation rubs, dings, and doinks. Likely a high AU specimen.

Is that the color? Please use white backgrounds so we can assess your white balance.

Hard to grade from the pics but a crazy excess of die polishing lines!

I'll guess high AU to MS-63. Pictures have too much flashback.

Massive photo overload - please reconsider your approach to showing us images.

This was a question about grade - in that regard full obverse and reverse photos, in focus, will suffice.

Yet - you include ~20 detail photos of a dizzying array of the coins various elements.

Grade opinion: AU58 to MS63 with a bunch of die polishing lines. Not attractive to my eye.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art
Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time.

I hate to beat a dead reindeer or horse, but please use better judgement on using too many pics please.
It's not gonna help with grading.

I started collecting a little over a year ago and have no idea what I am doing. I thought those lines were good because they came from the mint like that. Sorry if my unattractive coin wasted your time. It took me a long time to make those pics because that is what I thought I was supposed to do. Thanks for the "constructive criticism" everyone. can't wait to post on again here.

Reminds me of that time I posted 101 detailed pics on here for a grading of a cherry 39' Nickel I had found. They ate me up with "pic overload" comments, I figured all angles and edges of coin was looked at when grading as well. Btw... that's a pretty coin, good enough to hold on to at least.
