Hard to tell with the lighting/coloe. I was going to say EF/AU details cleaned. Is there some doubling on CE(NTS)?

Pleasing coin, even with the scratch.
The scratch must however, bring down the value a bit.

ANACS graded AU-58. The glare is from the holder

Maybe 55, but not the type of surface I'd expect on that date.

ANACS perhaps a little too generous.
There is minor, but obvious wear on the tips of the leaves.

Been noticing lately ANACS has been missing the mark on quite a few coins - wonder what's going on?

There's a bit of funk in these pics, I agree - can you give us some different images?
