A rather scarce Philly issue: I started this GTG to confirm my trouble with this method of coin photography. Seems I'm not alone.
Update: I've thrown in more photos and there is a hint in there.
Pictures with ordinary lighting:
Those tiny marks on the reverse rim at 7:00 keep it from a higher grade. Thanks for the guesses.

Unc details. Any alternate photos? I don’t like grading from these stacks pics.

Why? Do you think it has been cleaned?

I'm not a big fan of the reverse rim @ 7:00, and the surfaces and color of the coin just have that weird look that I've seen on details coins in their rarities night auctions. I might do a 180 with just one other set of photos but this is my least favorite style of photography from any of the auction houses.

Is it a satin proof? Otherwise I agree the images make the rim dings look bad and the surfaces not what I would expect from a business strike.
With the new pics, I would venture to guess ms 64

MS63, might be a MS64 slider.

With the new pics I'm at AU58. There is a lot of luster loss on the devices, too much for me to honestly call it MS. A market grade might take it to 62 though.
My thought is 58

Looking more closely i think I am at 55 on it.

AU 58
It has the right look to grade high. Probably MS64 but could be a grade higher or lower at NGC.
58
53 ... but wonderful for the grade.
Hard to ignore the first photos & the obverse quite pleasant while lacking many of the handling issues as often seen on these. I don't see it grading less than 58 & would be a buyer all day long even though on photos alone at the 53 level - not even my series.
Well, just Love coins, period.
I can’t see any rub that would lead me to believe it’s ever been circulated. Not at all sure what’s up with the rim dings at 7:00. All told I will muster a guess that it is a 63.
Edited to say Merry Christmas Eve 😊
63 - I don't see any wear. Eye appeal and luster seem flat based on the pictures. Chin shows some marks hence the 63 grade.
Let’s hear it, what’s the grade?

Grade is in.

I overshot and went with 64.
Nice looking coin!

Wow some were in the 50s. I would buy a coin like that all day long in AU.
