AU50, 53 tops for me. Just too much wear on the high points, and breaks in mid relief luster to warrant any higher.

Fields are pretty clean. AU-55 because the cheek is dull and worn.

Obvious wear on the high points of the design, both sides.
AU-53.

I guess I am getting a bit better on grading these. I put it at AU 55 before looking at the other comments. Quote:
All said, just a bullion coin. But if the OP likes it, and some of get grading practice, this is still as useful as if you had posted an 1893 S. Also, it's not what I would call a bullion coin right now. Maybe someone is thinking pre-COVID pricing? ~$19 silver content, but with a current price tag that seems to hover around $30, give or take a few bucks. Way too much premium for silver stacking. That's based on what I have seen in small auctions and a glance at ebay sold listings. |

AU50 maybe 53
not sure where coinfrog is coming from that this is a bullion coin unless it comes back as cleaned which is a possibility but I think it would still have more value than the metal

Very weak strike which explains the weak breast and flat areas on the obverse. Not seeing a lot of wear and seems to have residual luster. I'd like to say AU-58 but will err on the side of caution and go with AU-55.
