Purchased the recently. It is tough to photographs as the luster is overwhelming. Looks like only minor nicks aside from one on the port side edge of the main sail about halfway up. Thoughts?

Fantastic coin, with an even patina.
All detail well struck up.
Can't see any nicks and hairline scratches except for what is already mentioned, could go as high as
MS-65.

This one is difficult for me to judge from your images.

Pilgrims are known to exhibit fine lines from die polishing - look within and between the lettering at the rim. These die polish lines are raised, so they aren't a grading problem.

But I see lots of straight lines in the field surrounding Gov. Bradford and I can't tell whether they are die polish marks or scratches due to a cleaning. Without the coin in hand, I can't definitively say one way or the other.

Also, it could just be the lighting, but I see a color change in the metal on several obverse high points. If the change is a result of wear/metal loss, the coin would drop into the AU range vs. MS - assuming it hasn't been cleaned.
