Hi,
Saw this online from a European dealer and there isn't much of a different in price but I'm just curious id it's possible to tell from these photos?
If I saw it in person I could look at the rims but here I'm not sure.

Business strike.

I agree business strike. Still a nice coin. Would go great in a Dansco 7070 album
My current registry sets:
20th Century Type Set
Virtual DANSCO 7070
Slabbed IHC set - Missing the Anacs Slabbed coins
Here is the obverse of a business strike coin from CoinFacts which is from the same die as your example.
Definitely a business strike. Looks like a nice album piece (original comment edited for accuracy).

Neither. It appears to be a business strike with some wear.
Successful BST with ad4400, Kccoin, lablover, pointfivezero, koynekwest, jwitten, coin22lover, HalfDimeDude, erwindoc, jyzskowsi, COINS MAKE CENTS, AlanSki, BryceM
Thanks all! Nice catch @TrickleCharge I was looking for a die match.
The piece in the OP is a business strike.
Here is a Proof from the same era.
