I picked this up at a coin show this morning. I think it is an O-117. I liked the surfaces and luster, but it's difficult to photograph.

Any comments on grade would be appreciated.

I think much of the flatness is due to strike, not wear. AU 55. Nice!

Love the die striations! I`m gonnah go a bit lower than the others and say AU-50, there is very little to no strike weakness here so the worn points on the obverse are... well actually just worn points.
Still a nice coin though

Thanks for all the feedback. I was thinking AU53 when I talked to the seller but got him down to an XF price because I was unsure about whether it was a weak strike or some wear in circulation. As you know it's not easy to make the determination when you are standing at a seller's table at a coin show.
