    the coin looks nice.

    it's hard to tell even from your set of pictures what the coin would grade.

    I'm thinking anywhere from au58 to ms64, but I'm leaning more toward the ms63/64 end.

    Thinking high AU but very nice lustre; a good buy depending on what you paid for it but the
    seller's photos were no help at all image

    Looks AU55 ish to me. How's the lustre? Any hairlines? $30 is a great price for an AU example.
