My CBH newp from CSNS Auction - Guess the grade - GRADE REVEALED

Hello everyone,
Please allow me to present my latest purchase, a CBH via the recent CSNS auction.
I'm very slowly working towards developing a date set of CBH's, or so that is my long term goal.
Having said that, I clearly have a long way to go, having just three dates collected thus far, a '29, '30 and a '31.
This isn't something that I intend to do in a hurried fashion so I expect it will be some time before the set begins to take shape in earnest.
Relatively speaking, I'm very much still in the infancy of my numismatic journey.
Being that I'm still rather wet behind the ears, my collecting habits thus far have been, for a lack of a better term, a bit scattered you might say.
Currently I have a varied mix of both light side and dark side selections.
Through the process of reading and learning, both here and on my own, I'm tying to become a "better" collector.
My thinking is that piecing together a date set, in a series that I enjoy, might help me in that process, by slowing me down and providing some focus.
It sounds good anyway, we'll see if it works.
Without further delay, it's on to the guessing....
You'll find below both an "in hand view" if you will, though I do not yet have the coin in my possession - it's still in transit, and what I refer to as the "glamour" shot. Not particularly useful in GTG, but it's pretty.
Thank you and enjoy.

A date set is the way a lot of us got started. I remember thinking I'd like them all around the same grade and look. So I was careful to not jump at higher grades for later years that I couldn't manage for the early halves. Of course not everyone shoots for the same goals.
Next came Redbook varieties. Then die marriages. Be careful...bust halves can be very addicting.
