The quality of the pics is a result of this old scanner - I think it's about to head south on me.

Judging by the pics posted, what grade would you assign this coin?

Hi, Ralph, I don't think it would make VG, so I'm going to say G-6, but still a nice key date.

No way to tell from those pics, but what I do see looks like Fine details at a minimum.

If I had to guess, and it's only a guess, it would be VF20.

Tough to tell from the scans....I hate scanners for coins!

Looks like some separation between the cheek and jaw, it could be technically VF. I'll be conservative and say F12.

It is tough to tell from a scan, but I would definitely go with VG and possible F

I, too, believe it will grade fine.
As for the legend being weak, given the overall appearance of the reverse, I think the weakness may be a result of grease or dirt filing areas of the die.

I'm not very good at grading but I will say VG-8.
