I love the look of that coin. I say 58 also.
Broken record, but 58.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

AU-58. I see grey areas which are indicative of a rub on the high points. In its favor is a comparative lack of bag marks. This issue is very prone to them.
I had one piece, which I sold to a customer, which had wonderful luster behind Independence Hall, which was like a golden sunrise, just as Benjamin Franklin envisioned. All too few of these pieces have that. The design was struck in low relief which limited its beauty.
Having grown up in Delaware, where I regarded Philadelphia as a big, wonderful city as a teenager in the ‘60s, I have long admired the half dollar - quarter eagle sesquicentennial combination. The trouble is the lower relief of both coins has made that admiration an impossible dream.

Yup, 58.
I grade it as a beautiful desirable coin with great original and natural color. Sometimes I think we worry too much about assigning a number and forget about just enjoying the coin. Great pickup and definitely a keeper.

The reverse is beautiful but the obverse has seen some wear.
I'm going with AU53
Beautiful coin by the way.

Boooo! Look what you started, we had a 58 train going 😂.
I’d be shocked if it wasn’t 58, that’s the only grade that makes sense to me on this coin.

I was about to confidently say "58" until I saw @MFeld's guess above.
Even though the coin is gorgeous, I guess there is considerably more than "a touch of rub" on Miss Liberty. This group unanimously agrees the coin is not mint state! Perhaps for many AU58 or AU58+ coins, the wear would be more subtle.

Though if that high point color is just toning instead of wear it may be in an MS holder. It still may be even if there is faint wear as this design sometimes seems interchangable in AU-58 to MS-62 holders.

I’m on team 58
And those that went with AU 58 were correct! There is solid luster and some wear that puts this in the upper end of the circulated scale.
