    It's difficult to get a good look at the coin from those images, but Id guess it's in the AU55-AU58 range. I'd also guess that part of what looks like chatter/abrasions is in fact some die clashing.

    There appears to be a lot of rub in the fields and several hairline scratches so AU55. It does appear to be original.

    Nice color on it. Nice strike also.

    The newly added Heritage pictues make it look unoriginal - I hope the first ones posted are more true to life.

    Your photo sure improved. Looks nice. AU-55

    Edit: I think the color is probably right in the first picture, and the details are right in the 2nd.

    i think it is just the heritage pictures that make it look that way. most of their pics are way too bright, imo

    I shall end the suspense. Yes the first photos capture the color and toning. The second are Heritages which show the overgraded coin.

    Probably AU55 though I suspect it has been lightly burnished at some point.

    The Heritage pics look washed out. Your pics are a lot better.
