I'm playing around with different lighting and I hope these images are better than previous attempts... raw coins are much easier to image!

I'll go 58. I was torn between that and 61. Just can tell if it's baggy or wear.

61 or maybe 62

I see hairlines and friction in the fields. Looks like an AU58 to me although it would surprise me to see it in a low MS slab. Nice looking coin and nice photography.

I would go with the 58 grade based on the pictures... In hand, it could be a tad better... Cheers, RickO
58 for me.

AU58...
For me the pics arent good enough to tell. I am perceiving a little wear on the obverse. Otherwise coin looks remarkably clean for an au (or maybe pics are hiding some things?).
Its hard to tell what the shadows are hiding in the fields but most low MS coins would have bigger hits that look a lot worse than this.
I'll go 63.

Also seeing 58 in those images
I'll guess 62

Thanks for all of the input. I'm hoping my photographic skills will continue to evolve and refine... I think dedicated lighting... and filters... are a must. I can repurpose lighting that I already have, and improvise filters to remove glare, but I think I've hit a wall... especially with slabbed coins.

Very nice 58, the thing I notice is that the light is brighter on the top half of your images. If you could add some additional light on the lower half it would help.
