Would have preferred sharper pics, but I will have a go anyway.
Probably the slightest amount of wear on the high points; hard to see because they are hiding under the patina. The fields appear to be dinged up a bit, rims OK.
AU-55.

Caddis, What is your photo taking set up? Does anyone think it has been harshly cleaned? John1  ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )

It looks AU to MS, but most likely cleaned, the REV seems to show signs of cleaning in the center at some point in the last 130 years. Not sure if it is the photo, but probably dipped as well, the coin looks kind of dull, but that could just be the photo.
A decent coin overall. Would be curious what it looks like in hand.

I can't quite make out why the parallel lines in the reverse field.
Only the field seems to be affected; leaves, lettering and crown all look to be OK.

Looks in the AU range from photos. Agree with Sel69, I see what looks like fine parallel scratches in the fields of the Reverse, could also be on devices but can't tell from photo. Dipped I would say for sure.

From what I can see, I'll say AU details (cleaned ).

I'll echo the comments about the photos from all, while also proclaiming my own inabilities regarding same...
That all being said, here's my kick at the can...
First thing I notice -- cleaning. Secondly, the wear itself is difficult to pinpoint with precision based on the photos, but I would agree this coin would grade in the EF-AU range, with a "details" designation.
Nice coin!

Thanks again for the feedback. The photos do make the coin look liveless. And I'm not even a beginner at this stuff but I think it's been cleaned as well. I will try to take a different photo. I just use the iPhone with indirect light. Amazingly how poorly they come out&  |

Thanks John. What do you use to raise a smaller coin, like a dime, from the surface?

"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I'd say it's lower down in the AU area. The lustre appears to be confined to the outer regions, around the lettering, at least on the obverse. Possibly/probably cleaned or dipped at some point though I would not say harshly so. Decent coin....welcome at my bbq any time.
