Before I show the reverse of this coin can you tell me if you think this coin is a 62 or AU58 or somewhere in between

I would have guessed lower than AU58, so it appears from what you have written I am already wrong.

I'm more on the 58 side of 62.

It's not graded so whatever you think it grades is okay with me.
Here's the reverse which looks nicer.

Definitely worn and not mint state, probably technical AU 53-55 details remaining.
As for the tone….that I’m not sure about.
Definitely an AU not MS.

I think it's suspect myself. It has nice colors but it very well could be AT. I really don't know. I think I paid $50 at a local show 6 months back. I just liked the look.

Ignoring the funny colors/tones, Liberty's left leg (obverse) looks significantly flattened. I'd guess the obverse is no better than 53 (and I suspect it's doomed to a "details" grade).
Ignoring the "toning" on the reverse, the reverse is at least a 58, and maybe MS.
So I'd guess that the coin is headed for an AU details grade, 53-55.
Of course, that's a pretty common date, so not worth the price (and hassle) of getting it slabbed, IMO.

Mark I agree with you.
I am posting this showing what suspect AT looks like. Some would call it end roll toning to deceive.
I wish it were genuine and I am intrigued as to how they get the colored rings around the coin..let it be a lesson to newer collectors.
I hope this helps someone.

I like the reverse a lot better than the obverse. AU 55 is my grade.

I agree with those that said no better than 53. Reverse is better than obverse, but still has wear.
XF-45 to AU-50 at best even with nicer reverse.
looks AU50ish to me
