Wow, I need to brush up on my CBH grading skills. I think the photo in the slab represents the coin well. I tend to be too critical on grading from photos as the magnification is higher than I look at a coin in person.

Determining AU v MS from pics is often impossible IMO... large areas that appear rubbed in photos above would be fully lustrous in hand with the slightest tilt.
I guess the fact that the OP seems to be gravitating toward MS bustys ought to be a huge clue in future GTGs 😂

The grade is gorgeous 58, just a touch of rub (?) but would want to see the luster in hand to make sure......
I will say 58 but whatever the grade it looks like a nice coin.

I feel a 58, but if I owned it 63 money would not get it. I like it.

Nice coin. I'll go 55.
58
I see a nice uncirculated busty
BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.
58 or 62, and worthy of a premium if I am reading her right
Nice one Herb!

I’ll go with MS62 and am surprised to see so many guesses lower than 58.

Looks MS62 to me as well.

Wow... the cheek got me... I mistook the break in luster for wear...

Very nice... I was going to guess MS62... That is a great old coin. Cheers, RickO
I was going to go with 63, with a hedged bet at 58 being the lowest. Really nice coin too!
I'm sure if you waited long enough to post the grade, you would have gotten some XF-40 and 45 responses - "but I'm a tuff grader!"

That and the Drapery across the bust got me along with the biased that many GTG's are for undergraded coins!

Super coin. Sure had me fooled. Congrats on a great pickup.
