THe lightest loss of luster AU55.

 

And a little slight wear in the hair

 

I'm thinking AU58 details, cleaned, based on the picture, but if the coin's look is because of the picture, straight 58.

 

see above

 

I am not fully sure if it is cleaned or just the photo... I will be optimistic and say AU 55 (straight grade)

 

Unc. Detail - Cleaned

 

I’m really tired and my eyes are aching but I’d say it a low MS grade, like a 61 or 62.

 

The more I look the more those pics do the coin little justice.. since I can't share the video I snagged some screenshots which might show the coin a little better feel free to adjust any already made guesses

 

Niet, enough contrast. MS 62.
Gets sold besides/despite the photos..

 

I'm going to go in a completely different direction from the crowd and say 63 PL.

I don't see any signs of cleaning, but I know that prooflike surfaces can often give the wrong impression. Taking pictures of PL coins and successfully showing their surfaces is very difficult.

 

Very difficult for me. I while back I spent way too much time trying. I gave up and went on to something I knew I could get good results.
@physics-fan3.14 I know you have a really cool collection of PLs. Could you share how you go about imaging these things?

 

Honestly? Trial and error. Every coin is different. I move the lights, I change the height of the camera, I fiddle about. I'll take 50 pictures and pick which one I like the best. I don't have the sophistication that someone like @messydesk does... I'm sure he could give you a much more technical approach.
