Just trying to learn more about grading, I thought this would be in at AU50.

Please provide any comments and your thoughts on the grade. Thanks!

This coin appears to have above AU-50 details, but some lines on the reverse make me suspect it has been cleaned. Can you show better photos?

Looks like an AU-55.

Take a very close look at the rims. The obverse in particular appears to have the crimp marks indicative of ex-jewelry pieces at 4:00 and 10:00. The detail is AU.

Coin is more like AU-55. Not sure if it deserves a details grade, although it technically may be "details" it has the look and appeal of a problem-free coin and I'd pay close to problem-free money for this one.
