I don't think the lighting gives us enough of a true representation of the coins surfaces.
With that said I'd give it an xf45 to au55.

I'm a bit rusty on my grading skills, but I am on the fence between AU-58 and MS-61-ish. Looks like it might have had an old dip, but she is a real beauty! Those details sparkle.

Wow, well maybe I really overgraded looking at the previous response(its been a while), just not seeing much wear on her, and really can't see an XF grade of any kind.

Fantastic Coin!  I'm thinking AU-58 but a mint state grade wouldn't be a surprise. |

I'm with you, man. If this one circulated, it did so by people breathing on it. |

A beautiful addition Moe! She looks as tho she has a slight bend at 2:00 based on your photo so I will go out on a limb ans say MS 60 details.

Wow, what an amazing half Moe!! Stunning!
Geez... I really can't tell, not my best series for grading... I'm not seeing any wear at all, I'm leaning towards low MS but again I don't know this series as well as I'd like to... So if it has seen circulation it was slight, and I mean slight... Id guess no lower than 58. Again, stunning lady!

Mint state, a wicked coin! Really need to see in-hand to check out the bump (?) at 2 and the weak stars at 4.
