Pics are difficult to grade from. No evident wear, but the reverse scratch at K1 seems troubling - try to capture it from a different angle.

Id say maybe around ms60/61? Very hard to get a sense of its skin from the pics. At first I thought cleaned, but prob just the pics/lighting.

The surface doesn't have that frosty original look. I'm betting cleaned at some point. AU-58 details, cleaned

I believe it is Ms because of this photo alone. This seems to be more accurate and show luster in a spot an au coin would not, in my opinion. It does look scratchy but that pic seems to show original luster.

I am certainly a novice at this but how do you tell between a AU58 and a MS 61 on this coin—i know it cant be higher than 61 from all the marks but I cant tell that its circulated from the pics—on photograde app 58-61 looks the same—i cant tell wear on the high areas(where are the high spots anyways)
