would you call this UNC?

I have a high resolution image of an MS-63 example it has a few less scratches, but the detail appears about the same

I have a suspicion that Krause has over valued these.

Over the years I have seen quite a few 5, 10 and 20 mils coins in superior condition, and not that many in poorer, circulated grades.

Yeh $100 seems overpriced.

Would you call this example I posted uncirculated?

It's a difficult call. The fields look great and does the wording but the inner rim has far to many dings. I don't see wear so UNC with bag marks is what I would call it.

Bit hard to grade these, the presence or no, of mint lustre helps.

The arabic script is flat faced square above the fields with this design , so that makes it a bit harder to grade. Consequently, the leaves become a major point of focus when trying to grade. You have to look at the fields for minor digs and scratches and for picky things like minor rim bumps.

From the pictures, AU55 becomes a partial guesstimate.
