I've looked at all of the AU-58 graded ones on Heritage and this one looks a lot nicer. I bid on it as an AU58. Will send in to TPG after I receive it.

    I think you're good at AU 58. May be just the strike but the cheek and pelt seem flat but interestingly, not discolored. Might be better.

    I feel a 55 for sure and a 58 possibility. I like the look completely.

    Nice! I wouldn't be surprised to see it in an MS holder.

    From what I can see, the coin looks to have approximately AU55 details. I believe there is wear, which is most obvious on the Indian’s jaw and cheek, the upper portion of the bison’s left rear leg and the bison’s side to the left and above the leg area I mentioned. Additionally, while it might just be the lighting, the coin’s sheen looks a bit off to me and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been lightly cleaned.

    This was my impression as well.

    I agree with @MFeld. Looks like a 55 to me as well.... Let us know how it grades when you submit it. Cheers, RickO

    Wouldn't be surprised at all if it gets a 58.
