I was able to do some recent shopping and added a few more Bust Half Dollars to my small, but growing, set. Less than two weeks ago I had none and now I can field a baseball team. Darn bunnies!!!!! It also says a lot about USPS and their very fast delivery (2-3 days on each purchase).
This beauty comes from the @lkeigwin collection. His photography is spot on and the best I have seen when compared to the coin in hand. You have a day to make a guess as I will post the slab photo Friday morning.
I feel very fortunate to have been able to add this coin to my set.

Really nice coin!
I too think it’s a AU58 but CBH’s can be tricky.
Edit to add: And I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t bean!
55+
I don't know the series at all but looking at those stars it seems like the die was having some issues so maybe weak strike also?
I'll be contrarian and go 62.
55.
Obverse is a little soft and looks like it may lack the luster for a 58.
Very pretty!
BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.
58+ and it's beaned is my guess.
Like!
Nice eye appeal on that one, for sure. I could see it as high as a 55, but I don't see enough luster beyond that.
Almost every coin I've ever seen from @lkeigwin 's collection is premium for the grade.

55 or possibly the color made it a 58. All of Lance's coins are top notch!
Looks good with that touch of rim color.

AU 55 and gorgeous!
55/58.
55.
Real nice, but can't decide...I'll say AU55+.

55, and a nice one.
Last call for guesses. The slab will post Friday morning at about 5am CST. I have enjoyed reading all of the comments and thank you for the guesses. I plan to roll out CBH #7 GTG in the morning.

I will say 55, very nice!
Here is the slab shot. PCGS graders put it at AU53. I think they may have been a bit conservative on this one. Looks like a nice AU55 coin in hand. As far as CAC, that is an unknown. There is a very good chance this has not had a visit to JA.

Beautiful coin! You can’t go wrong with a bust half that was once part of Lance’s collection.
And at first glance it looks undergraded. I can see it as a 55, too.
Congrats!
Dave
I guessed au58. Looks much nicer than a 53.
