AU-55 seems about right, looks problem-free. VAM-6?

@Zurie does look like a near date and looking at the pics I can see VAM 6

It looks like a straight grade AU55 to me.

the 89(O) typically are quite soft in strike. yours is actually a decent strike for this year. even taking that into consideration I would call this one AU53 might make 55 on a good day

It's on the high end of the AU-53/AU-55 bubble. Considering the typical New Orleans strike quality, it's a bourse floor AU-55. I fear PCGS would hold it to AU-53.

Well I hope she gets the above average eye appeal bump when I submit it.

Perhaps the seller used Photoshop to "fix" this coin and give it a metallic look. Your photos make it look like it is a completely different coin.

Are the obverse fields as flat and life-less as your images show?

Going to have to bump mine down to AU53 with the new pics.

Lower AU works for me. Would be interesting from a technical aspect what the seller's camera and lighting settings were vs. those used by JasonKflo. And any post-processing differences too.
And then there's always the in-hand visual inspection.
