Picked this up at the LCS today. For the price I simply had to have it. Guess the grade.

These pictures put more emphasis on the luster. Really a wonderful coin in hand.

50 from first photos, 53 now with the second set of pics.
Details AU Genuine.
AU 50ish?
Can't quite tell from the pics but it looks damaged, I don't think it straight graded because of the size of the hits in the reverse field and on the eagle, so I'm gonna say AU Details.

I don't know of it's the pictures, but we've got one heck of a range of guesses. 50 or 53 would be my guess, but I don't trust the photos.
From the photos, I’ll wager a guess at 53.

I'll go with AU53 as the 18-S comes weakly struck I feel they graded it higher than AU50.
I am thinking AU50..... Will stick with that... Cheers, RickO

Has to be AUish. It's got mint luster.
Probably AU-50 or so.

Everything is all right!

I'm not terribly familiar with this series, but it seems to have nice luster remaining with some of the high points showing rub.

@Coinscratch and @WilliamF were the only ones who got it right.
Yeah so I saw this in the dealer display case and it… spoke to me. Seemed very nice for an AU coin. Given the price tag I expected the reverse to be ugly but… it isn’t that bad. The coin has such great eye appeal otherwise that the couple digs were not a big problem to me. So this one went home with me. I bought the coin, not the slab, and think $50 was a great price. Basically 20-25% of what I’d pay for a clean 55 or 58. And also SLQs are a beautiful design and having a lustrous one is a sight to behold.

Agree, you can't beat that price. Disagree, with everyone who didn't see the gouges they were pretty obvious unless you were looking through a cell phone.
So are these black marks the obvious die gouges?

Correct.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
Boy, they do not look like gouges to me, but something that might come off with an acetone dip. I saw them immediately upon seeing the coin, but did not think at all that they were gouges of any kind, but perhaps stains of some kind. Live and Learn.

ya. i didn't look it over close-enough before posting a grade guess. those are pretty severe and i would expect a detail grade now that i've looked it over some more, unless somehow, the peeps at anacs missed them having the coin in-hand which would be tough to believe.
they are more apparent in this blown-up image of the op image:
