The pics are too dark to get a good read on it but my guess is AU55.

I'm working on a new camera setup, which is kind of why I posted this test image here. I agree its too dark, I will be adjusting my exposure in the future to lighten it. Though this coin does have a nice tone to it like in this photo.

AU-55, but I wouldn't be surprised if PCGS gave it a -53, they don't seem to appreciate toning quite as much as some of us do. What's going on up there between the ES in States and the wreath?

paralyse, what you see between the ES and the wreath is a die clash. Clashing is very common on these coins.

PCGS gave this AU-58. I'll work on my photography skills some more.

Ah, thanks, EFLargeCents. I'm still learning how to distinguish MD and error states from PMD.
