Pics too soft to see most of the surface details clearly, but from what I can see, that obverse scratch might detail it. I'd be very careful here.

very difficult to assess a coin in a holder with glare like this. just based on the surfaces I can see on the obv the coin appears to be AU. its such a common coin why risk purchasing it using these photos? there appears to be dings, marks and scratches on both sides. are they on the holder or on the coin?

AU-58 slider. Lots of 49-S sliders out there for MS prices.
