Excessive light flare doesn't help.
AU50, may go higher with better pictures.

Agree with AU (maybe 55+) Details vs MS - it is hard to tell if the cent has been re-toned. It's surfaces do not look natural to me. Maybe others with more experience will chime in.

Hard to say, but I think I see wear on the high spots. The white balance is off in these photos, so it could be RD, but it may be RB. The surfaces do not look cleaned to me, though. Best guess is AU55, but I think there is a tiny chance it is MS.

The coin has some rim issues and a little chatter . I believe it's original ( not cleaned ) I would say 61-63RD .  |

Lots of little marks.
That suggests to me that it has circulated or at least been mishandled.
Then that bring in the question of its color; I think "dipped".

Looks natural to me. I'm at 62RD, with a shot at 63.

I am still learning on grading LWC, but I am glad to see others have it in the AU range. That is where I would put it too. It almost looks dipped to me too, but hard to tell with pictures |

I honestly can't tell from just these two shots. Do you have any pictures of the coin at different angles where it is actually reflecting the light?
It definitely looks like a mint state coin to me. The only question is whether or not it has been cleaned.

A bit too much light on the photos but, I believe it would make AU-58 Nice for a key date...  |
