The cartwheel luster is there. I am going to take more straight on pics when I get home. But what do you think?

These are washed out pics that do not show surface detail or luster. You need to start from scratch.

First,

The flashback on the obverse photos and angle of the reverse photos makes it difficult to grade. On the obverse, I see clear signs of wear on the hair above the ear and above the forehead, cotton blossoms, cheek, and neck. The bag marks are consistent with a high AU coin. The reverse shows signs of light circulation on the eagle's breast, right leg (our visual left), bow, and tips of the tail feathers. Again, the bag marks are consistent with a high AU coin.

IMHO, this one is likely AU-58, possibly with decent eye appeal. Better photos would help nail down the grade.

Again, welcome to CCF!

Simply can not tell with those images. We can't see if the luster is all there, and indeed we can't even see if the surfaces look original and uncleaned. Looking just at the hair above the ear, it doesn't look MS to me but without a picture that captures the luster, there's no way to say.

I'd call it AU based on the pics.
