Pictures aren't the sharpest for grading
but I will say Au-50.
It is the Round Leaves variety.
Still a nice coin.

I will be a little harder and grade it an EF40.

Next time try taking the photo on a different background, possibly plain white paper or another colour to give good contrast.

I think that it's AU as well .. many were weakly struck.
