the new photos look like they represent the in-hand look of the coin better. I think the coin could be in the XF area possibly as high as 45
if it graded XF45 straight youre looking at about $600 for an XF40 maybe $475
the decision is if it doesn't straight grade the cost of grading is way to high. consider PCGS charges a $69 subscription fee, $23 grading fee then postage and ins both ways. if the coin detailed then the grading costs would chew up most of the value of the coin.
do to the lighting and small photos I can't determine if it would in fact grade straight. from what I see it is possible
[edit] - I would give it an acetone soak just to remove anything from the surfaces then I would get an airtite holder for it if you decide not to send it in. if you want to slab it I would use either PCGS or NGC. I think PCGS is a little more strict but their coins tend to get a premium. NGC is a little less expensive. since I really don't slab I'm not sure which one is better for silver dollars
