    All right, I'll go out on a limb. I'll guess it's a 61.

    The reverse seems a little fuzzy to me. Maybe I'm just being picky.image

    I'll guess AU58, I think the pictures are fantastic (coin too).

    BTW, coinJP rocks! I won his sweet giveaway, more on that later!

    AU-55, probably graded MS-61.

    Personally I'd pass on it because of the spot next to Ms. Liberty's elbow. It would bother me too much, but that's just my taste.

    The coin looks au55 to me. It needs a bit more lighting.

    AU 55 nice pics. Reverse is fuzzy which is a focus problem. I like the lighting. You got the golden tone to look right. image

    an attractive coin, however I do find the spot distracting. Definitely lightly worn, looks better than a 50 to me, I'll guess Au53. As far as the photos, good first approximations, but you'll want to work with the "resize" and "crop" functions. You may have "zoomed" in on the reverse a little too much; it's out of focus. Nice coin!
