I won this at an auction about two years ago. I thought the coin was conservatively graded so ended up bidding over Trends. It was housed in a very old green PCGS holder and I thought it had a good chance at upgrading. I finally sent the coin in last week for regrade and receive the grade yesterday--an upgrade from AU55 to AU58!! The coin is pictured below.

The coin is not finished. You have three more points to go.
