Edited to add: I’d be surprised by a details grade or a straight grade below AU50. Either this is a very tough crowd or I’m loosey-goosey in my grading of this coin.

Clnd, 45 for me!
Something about it looks off just a little. Maybe its the mint mark?

My first impression was AU50-AU53
AU-50
This coin appears to me to have been in the ground for who knows how many decades, OR, it has been somewhat harshly cleaned. XF details, net VF.

AU details. It's not that I'm ( part of the tough crowd) harsh, PCGS is.
AU 55
I see wear, carbon spotting, a couple of scratches and little luster. Depending on where your budget stands and the top dollar you can live with.......would greatly influence the kind of response......XF47?

I'm seeing a die state a little on the late side and some hairline scratches. I wouldn't go any higher than EF45 on her.
I’m with details.

50 cleaned is my guess
AU details
This is exactly how I see this coin. Too many circulation hairlines on the obverse to make AU. The coin does not look like it is cleaned to me.
Thanks for all of the replys about this coin.
