Very nice coin, excellent detail. I'm not seeing any wear. Not seeing much luster but detail is MS-63.

Really tough call. Seated halves have an obverse that's so mushy they all look circulated, and a reverse that's so strong they don't really show wear until XF. It's a case where you don't settle on a grade until you get to move it around in-hand and observe how the light plays off the higher points.

It looks to me like the character of the reflected light off the high points on the obverse is enough different from the lower points to indicate rub or circulation. Knowing how uncommon these are in Mint State, I'd hazard a guess that a TPG would call this one high AU, and I'd agree with that assessment.

I'm seeing four small red X's Not your fault Tyki. Our server doesn't allow photo-hosting sites. I can only see the stuff that's uploaded to CCF (which is less than 25% of the content).

At home now and those X's are now pictures. Tyki that one looks AU details (cleaned). See the halo effect in the last photo

When rubbed, the recesses retain the original luster around the devices and the fields loose that luster. Check for this by rotating the coin.
Rest in Peace

Based solely on the pics and not having in hand, I'll have to say AU58.

It looks to have been cleaned. Detail is nice with strong shield. I am going to go AU-58 details.

With the wear on the breast, hand, leg, and arm on the obverse. The arrowheads on the reverse. I would call this AU-55. This is a very nice coin.
