photos are little blurry. rare to find fully struck examples. grading need to look at the highest points on both sides.

without better photos AU50 maybe as high as 53 but I like to see some luster hanging around for on a 53. the coin looks quite dull and may have been cleaned. I think someone was attempting to remove staining or something so the coin may not grade straight. if I was looking to purchase it, i'd ask for sharper photos

i like the reverse definition on this one. some stars have center points and the rays are pretty well defined.

AU-50 sounds about right for this one.
