    Looks like a keeper :)
    I can't zoom in not sure if it's the pictures or my mobile, so I won't guess a grade right now.

    My thought would be AU53-AU55 the Reverse is the hold back for me based on the Shield wear. Luster is attractive on both the Obverse and Reverse. This coin is a Large Date and Large Letter Type.

    Exactly! I'd grade it Au58 as well, as the high points show traces of wear. Market grading however may bump it to low MS thanks to the remaining luster and the super nice toning.

    O-111, I think? That'd make it Small Date, Small Letters. I'm going to call it a nice AU55, but would be prepared to believe it Mint State in-hand as all the wear is in areas which can also show weakness of strike and the surface is either terrific or artificial. :)

    Please excuse me I typed a mistake for this coin, it is a Small Date and Small Letter Type.
