I think it's a clashed die and it has to be at least AU50 maybe AU55. Nice coin!
I edited my estimate and bumped it up.
I am not a good grader.

I agree with AU+. Those look like scans and with great luster it might go AU58, an AU53 at worst.

I agree with the rest of us; AU55, the tiniest amount of wear on the tops of the high points of the design only.
Die clash makes it interesting.
Vertical bars of the breast shield slightly disturbed.
Superior coin.

Yes, AU-55. The lines under Ms. Liberty's ear are clash marks from the vertical lines in the shield on the reverse.

Looks like a lot of friction on the cheek and in the fields on both sides. Very little visible wear on the devices but the friction should hold it back a bit. AU-53.
