What do you think on grade, and worth having sending in for grading?   |

To my eye the pasty images have tended to hide any very fine hairline scratches that may? be there.
I certainly can't see any, and for the purposes of grading, I will assume that there aren't any.
On that basis,
MS-66.
An actual hair appears in the background, but very fine hairlines that may on the coin are normally much finer than this.
Some luster is evident in the images, but for a 66 coin, the amount of luster on a 66 coin that has only a very light patina, or even no patina at all, should be very strong.
Despite well focussed images I feel that there is going to be a wide range of grading opinions.

No way is it 66, its got lots of chatter to obverse and surfaces looking very dull. The reverse actually looks quite clean but I'd like to see more photos to see any scratches with a different lighting angle. From these photos it could be MS60 but looks to be AU58 to me.

There's a cloudiness to this one that is either hiding some marks, or just hurting the eye appeal. If it were mine, I'd start with an acetone bath, then possibly xylene. If all else fails, a VERY quick dip.
That said, I see a decent amount of light marks on the cheek, neck, and high points on the obverse. Possibly enough to warrant AU. But again, that surface haze is making it tough to judge.
I'm with panzaldi, AU58-MS63

Gray, dull images make it difficult to evaluate this coin. I'll say AU-58 with a low confidence factor.

MS-61. Very heavy chatter on the cheek and dull surfaces.

58 slider for me as well. Not worth the grading fee but still a nice example of a 121 year old coin....  and  to the CCF!! Edited by dave700x

Nice looking AU-58. Very few contact marks, and only light evidence of circulation.

I tried more photos after a quick dip in acetone. Hope this helps.   |

Still at AU-58. Coin seems lifeless.

Lifeless? Just a flat dull surface?

Indeed, from what you have shown us. I do not mean to offend. Others may feel differently. |
