That was my first impression also, and that is usually what I stick to, but the more I looked, the more I thought it could even be unc. I am befuddled by this one.
AU spectrum but based on the image, it may not straight grade. There is something that looks off not just with the color but with the surfaces. Looks enhanced and not natural. Maybe different images would convince me otherwise...

Great piece, scan now looks better, less befuddlement
I was fuddling for details and got the befuds
Wow, what a beaut!
Many successful BST transactions with dozens of board members, references on request.
The second photo hides the scrapes on the legs completely. Grading from photos is always risky.
Yes, at 786 % increase of actual size, in an attempt to show details, I got no in hand idea where those scratches came from.
