    Hard to tell from the pics. It's at least au, maybe bu.

    Better images would help but I believe it's a strong AU candidate.

    Well, it's definitely better than XF. It's at least an AU58. Look for any break in luster on the high points. If there's no break in luster, it's a BU.

    Put me in the high AU-58 and probably MS crowd , definitely way better than EF , you pretty much have full luster by what I can see . Luster is pretty well diminished by the time a coin grades EF . You should get a book on coin grading . The best IMHO is the ANA 6th Edition , and after that PCGFs grading guide and Counterfeit Detection , both are should haves in any coin library .

    Looks full MS to me, but tighter close-ups would be nice...

    And do I see a mintmark?
