Sorry the pictures aren't great. I usually shoot Morgans, so it's a little different. I will try and post some better pictures when I get home, I was in a bit of a rush to leave. (Couldn't edit the white balance )

How would you grade this one? Also is it a SF variety? It has the small date, but the SF is a little faint.

Thanks For The Opinions so far. Sorry about the poor images before, here are some slightly better ones. I adjusted the white balance a bit, but couldn't too much because of the strange toning on the coin.

The coin has dark yellow toning streaks.

Does anyone have a picture of a SD and LD comparison?

New Pictures! Got the colour just about perfect now, along with a better close-up of the date.

Eye appeal is increasing with better pics, but technical grade is going down.MS62
Your coin is large date,NSF.There are no mules.The two varieties of '53 twenty-five cents have different diameters, the SF being larger. The NSF reverse has wire rims and large date same as '52 and earlier. SF reverse has wider flat rims and smaller date same as '54 and later.
