I think this coin may have some light wear so I will go with AU-55/58. Nice coin!

MS64. I'm guessing that what looks like wear above the ear is due to the glare in the photo obscuring detail. The cheek and left field are virtually pristine. Eagle's breast ditto and fields are unmarked.

Probably mint state but I think *could just be the photography* this one might have been dipped one too many times.

Hence, out of an abundance of caution, I'll say AU-58. Can we get some more photos with less glare?

Here's a new photo. I'm having trouble with the white balance/light source, but at least there's less glare.

AU 55, this is some thing we all see to many times, over lighted coins which hide the details for a true grade reference...evaluation for members to contribute to...MS64? this is why a few photo's from different angles is needed to see the true coin for it GUESS grade...so there won't be a grade eval from AU to MS65...
some how there are differences in those grades criteria...Its just my guess there is some difference..
