I say 1953 SF Near. There is a shoulder fold and NO shoulder fold variety on the obverse. Also a far maple lear and near maple leaf variety for the reverse.
I say yours is a "Shoulder fold, Near" My book puts a coin in EF-40 at $2.00

thanks, it was a real tough time figuring out if the leaves were near or far- oh well, $2.00 is more than what I paid for it- thanks!

Is it possible to get a better picture of the back? A closer look at the maple leaf would make up my mind for sure.
