I'm going to say I think it's just makes AU-53, several large surfaces marks on the obverse. Looks like it still has some luster though.

The hair around the ear looks ok, but there is wear above the eyebrows. On the reverse, the breast shows wear. AU-55?

I'm going to make a point of prefacing all grading threads by saying I'm no expert.
Still got some nice luster, but has a little wear on the high points. AU 58

If this is AU I would definitely say 58, the luster is mostly unabraded and it has an unc 'look'.

AU 53 Obv., looks like big hits on "P" and "L" in pic
AU 58 Rev., with cool die crack!

AU 55 Net, from a grader in a good mood?

Thanks everyone!

Would anyone be willing to take my photos and use a photo editing program to circle the key high points to look at for wear? I would sure appreciate it! I struggle with telling the difference between AU and MS on both Morgans and Peace dollars.

Thanks!
