Where at do you see wearing? I actually purchased it as "BU". My camera is actually giving it a "gold" color but it is actually "white".
Rest in Peace

I can't tell anything from those pictures.

Early walkers are really weak strikes, right?

Southeast of eagles eye on the reverse and Miss Liberty's left leg on the obverse. It could be a weak strike, but there's barely enough luster remaining to qualify for AU.

It could be a photos but AU53 is as high as I could go from what I see here.

This is the problem with grading from photos. The coin, as pictured, could be AU or it could be BU. Especially in the case of a coin which is known to be weakly struck, a definitive answer sometimes isn't possible from the very best of photographs.

I am trying to get my camera to work better on this coin. I'll see what I can do to get this coin looking better on here. I appreciate all the feedback.
