    Gennie for ED?

    If not, it's a 53.

    looked at the last image I can see far better the surfaces of the obverse. AU50 is my revised guess

    I have an extensive collection of certified centennial silver type coins. This coin would not ever fit in my set. The toning is just too fugly. AU-53.

    AU55.

    Decent shot for a non-macro lens. Workable for show & tell purposes and plenty good enough for eBay. But the sharpness is less than with a macro.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Based on the 2nd to last image, doesn't it have more like XF45 wear? I'm no expert.

    Well based on the responses, there are a few here that are spot on with grading from a photo- congrats.

    I noticed that some are not happy with the color presentation- which I'm ok with considering that it's in my collection, but the coin in hand is pretty dazzling when swirled in natural light, maybe next time I'll do it as a mini movie to show off the colors. Anyway your result is:
