If you can't already tell I'm trying to land a decent one.

Concerned about 3 o'clock on obverse, is that a gouge?

Weird streaking from 11 o'clock to 3'oclock ending in that darker mark.

From the photos I would go XF45.

Once I had it in hand to inspect better, it might go AU50.

The obverse of this one shows brushmarks I can even see on my smartphone, and it's a weaker than normal reverse strike on a coin notorious for poor reverse strikes. The left corn ear is basically not struck.

What is your definition of "a decent one?" We can offer better advice with that knowledge.

SsuperDdave, why do you imply your smartphone is worse at displaying pictures than a PC?

My smartphone's screen - despite its' 2560x1440 resolution - doesn't have the kind of contrast a desktop monitor does. I don't see some of the more subtle image details on it as well.

Would tilting your smartphone help in terms of contrast? It helps on mine!

Nice Android (or Microsoft or Tizen, etc.) phone!
