    These are cellphone photos, not professional shots, so we're working within those limitations, here.

    The coin is mostly white, with the peripheral toning you see, and some decent luster which doesn’t entirely show in these images.

    Being conservative, and based on these photos, if I was seeing this coin blind, in someone else’s GTG thread, I’d likely guess one point lower than the actual grade. The fact that the luster doesn’t entirely come through is a factor in that.

    Edit: here is an admittedly low-quality GIF to show the luster somewhat.
