    Questionable color, I think it has a light rub, which would make the sharpness grade AU-58.

    Thanks! Paid $25 including this FH.

    Still new to determining altered/questionable color.

    With the below coin, are the gouges bag marks of just plain damage?

    Both.

    The two sets of marks in a row are "reeding marks" caused by the edge of another coin. I don't think that they are bad enough to consider the coin damaged but it will lower the grade considerably to the lower end of the MS range.
