to the commemorative forum JamieSpat.

Your lovely coin is difficult to grade from the photos ... the images are not clear enough to view the high points of the design for possible signs of light circulation wear.

You can help by taking a close look on the obverse at Governor Bradford brim of his hat ... and on the reverse look at the stern of the Mayflower at the point where the stern of the ship meets the flank.

These are the highest points of relief in this particular coin ... and will show the initial signs of circulation rub.

Assuming you report no wear in those areas ... I'm going MS63 on this lovely coin ... net mintage was 152,112 coins after official melting.

Your coin shows the typical handling marks and bag nicks that are expected on the obverse with it's open fields and clean portrait ... the reverse is more cluttered and tends to hide bag marks better than the obverse.

Nice coin ... AU58 or MS63 is my opinion ... depending on your reply to the inquiry stated above.
