Hi guys, I need your help authenticating a coin.

I have what I believe is a 1953 shoulder fold - far leaves, but I'm certainly not an expert so I would like your opinions!

Here are the photos (not the best, but not too bad since they are my first ones):

Coin is in rough shape, but could be worth something if it's in fact a SF - far.

Thanks,

Look at the bottom of the 9 as it almost touches the denticles.That is also a sign of close to the rim.
