This coin already has an old ANACS photo card with the grade.
What's your guess on the grade?
This coin also has really nice color when flashed under a light source.
Added new pictures in the sun. The coin does have full luster.

    I grade it “Buffalo nickel”.

    The picture makes some areas appear to be worn, though I’m guessing that better images would tell a different story.

    Yellow Dye #5. Have someone take good pics and repost.

    The coin looks AU in the new (top) pictures, as well. I’ll have to take your word for it regarding the luster.😉

    Might as well give it up!
    One thing I like about this coin is the luster and the color. In hand its really nice. I know its a cheap coin but I like it.

    @MFeld corrected. Thank you.

    It still says "nickle" in the title
