    With the new pic I would say AU-58 with the last pic much better than the ones in your old thread!! I am doubting my preveous statement about cleaning.

    3rd pic is definitely the best. Then the second. Then the first. Grade = UNC Details.

    That third pic makes the coin look like a proof-like or proof Indian Cent. With that picture quality, you can seriously sell that coin for big $$ on eBay. (Not suggesting you to do so, as that would be deceptive, but just showing what a lot of other "shady" sellers on eBay do)



    +1. Could you take some pictures of the edge of the coin?

    Creme I can tell the edge is beveled from the pics deffinately not a proof. May be prooflike though but I doubt it due to the slight bit of rub above liberty's eye. Just my opinion. Beautiful coin however.

    I choose 3rd as my favorite of the 3.

    yes same lens except for the first picture as for settings the camera was on auto and yes they are different due to different light condition

    And I will edit post this weekend and add shots of the sides of the coin

    Thanks for the fast reply's

    AU.

    Circulation wear can be seen in all three photos, and enough of it to hold it back from MS.
