Thsi coin is marked as Large Letters, I can't tell. I also have one marked small letters but, have not photo'd it yet.

I can't really tell if it's LL or SL, it looks to me to be the SL variety, but the pics are a little dark and fuzzy. If the A and M touch, it's LL, if not, SL. As for a grade, again, the pics are a little dark so it's hard to see some of the details, but I would say VF-30.

I can see from these pics you've got the "Low Leaf" reverse, though. These came in two reverses, as well.
Rest in Peace

I think it vaguely looks LL: as you probably know, look for nearly connected serifs of "AM" on the obverse.

Nice coin!

Looks like a pretty reasonable strike, I'd call it VF30 with help from the reverse.

I took a second look today and it does appear to be the Large Letters variety.
