Scan is too dark and too small to grade the coin.....plus you didn't post an image of the reverse so that also makes it impossible to grade. The coin looks to be in the range of AU to Uncirculated.

Sorry I suck at scans. It doesn't have one nick or scratch under a microscope. Back is pretty too.....I am a total newbie but want to invest in coins.....

jduran1:

 

If you're a newbie, the first thing you should do is read Scott Travers' book "Coin Collector's Survival Manual."

 

The second thing you should learn is how wide the "spread" (difference between the price you pay when you buy a coin and the price you get when you sell a coin) is for coins versus stocks, etc.

 

"Investing" in coins is like "investing" in art or antiques. The more you know, the less likely you are to get hosed.

You can limit your damage by buying coins slabed by NGC or PCGS.

It seems that there is abrasion/wear on the cheek. I'd say strong AU.
