I would say xf40-xf45 maybe au50, but I'm just giving my best guess

I'll say VF-25, possibly 30.

Nice coin, great color, i'll say high end VF. Would probably be a great candidate for some VerdiCare as well.

Wow, why am I so far off on the grade? I looked at it for a while in comparison to the PCGS photograde, what am I missing, always good to learn.

@coreyg I think this coin is VF35 and close to XF40. If you look at the comparison image below, the '54 does not have any split stars. The hair above the eye and brow is flat and not rounded in the '54 compared to the PCGS plate coin. This could be due to strike and the '54 looks well struck which suggests that it may be wear rather that strike weakness. Overall, it is close to xf40 but I think it falls slightly short.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

i would also add that the sharpness of rims and denticles fall short of a 40
