I don't take good pictures, but was wondering if I could get an idea of what others may thing this coin will grade at? Thanks much.

MS 66? Just my opinion. I have a 1949 in very similar condition. Yours seems more proof-like, though.

At least MS-60, the last picture is a little blurry.

The better the quality of the picture, the lower the grade.
That is why unscrupulous ebay sellers submit such crappy pictures.

I wasn't prepared to grade this piece before, but I will now, with better pictures.
AU50 details, cleaned.

Good point, everyone! Now that I think about it it does seem polished/cleaned. I still think the details are mid MS 60's.

Thanks to everyone again for the comments.
