This is from an old type set I purchased a while ago. I'm thinking AU58 or AU-details.

1st set of photos taken in with flash.

2nd set taken on a windowsill in natural light.

Thoughts?

AU-58, I agree.
Dark patination makes it a bit difficult to see and photograph.

I say AU55, old cleaning (which will not be noted when grading).

Thanks everyone!

Any ideas on what an NGC grade of au58 will do for resale purposed as compared to a raw coins?

Is it worth the grading fee?

AU55, old cleaning that's retoned. They may straight grade it but I'd say Details.

tough call. if it grades straight then yes. if not, its borderline. would I send it in? probably not as the obverse may slide straight but the reverse field scratches imo would details the coin

I have a hard time believing it will grade straight with that reverse, I'm at AU 55 details

AU55 and it's a toss up as to details or not on a slab by a TPG, I'm pretty sure it's cleaned as well, but who knows what the TPGs will decided from day to day.
