Hello. I would appreciate opinions on this coin. Seems to me uncirculated.

Not a series I collect in but the angle on the cactus image is pretty. And the silver ones are cheaper than gold

The silver ones are much cheaper than gold. :) These are bullion coins and yours appears lightly circulated. There's a lot of luster loss.

These pieces are 80% silver and total exactly 10 grams in actual silver weight. 0.32 troy ounces.

Very difficult to tell from these pics. Certainly high AU if not uncirculated.

I'll say AU, maybe even uncirculated. Hard to tell with current photos.

Thanks. I made a new photo with black background and sunlight.

It is again not as well focused as I would like. Silver seems harder to photograph well than copper or even gold.

Gut tells me lower MS range. Nice coin.

I have been organizing some more of my coins. Went back to this one because the photos were not good. Silver is the worse for photographing.

I think it has some slight circulation but no cleaning. The obverse shows what I think is the original texture of the strike in the fields around the eagle. Hope a more oblique photo can show that.

The reverse is less rugged. Perhaps a more polished die? Wear should be even in both sides. If it was cleaning would some one clean the less impressive reverse and not touch the beautiful obverse?
