I would grade at least au55. There is rim damage on the reverse at 5 o'clock, and a green spot on the rim on the obv.
I see little if any wear.

The last picture is too bright and blurry to use.

the coin is well struck particularly the reverse which is more than you normally see. these photos are difficult to grade with as the lighting and focus can be hiding things. I cant determine the originality of the surfaces and remaining luster. i'd like to see better photos. AU58 or maybe as high as MS63. look like it was stored at some point in a flip as there is a couple spots in the denticles. I'm always looking for full separation in the columns as this one is pretty good

AU58 the reverse is a bit worrying from the photos but I can't tell without better photos, almost looks like some sort of corrosion taking over in the middle photo the last photo looks okay but is very over exposed.

What's that at the bottom of the neck? Die gouge?

Retained interior die break? It certainly conflicts w/the design.

AU-58 with a nice strike. Not sure from these photos if the surfaces are original.

AU-58 sounds right. Unclear to me from these pics if it's been cleaned.
