Now, where are the pics of the 86 and the 94? Are they as nice as your 96?
VERY nice coin. Looks like it has way more lustre and eye appeal than most MS61s and 62s.
Yes, as is the case with the 96-O, the 84-S, the 95-O, the 01-P ,and a few other key dates, the slider AU's are typically nicer overall looking coins than the much higher priced low grade uncs. The services are also not consistent in grading these, as I've seen more than a few 1884-S coins go from AU58 to MS60 or MS61 on resubmittals.
semolinapilchard......"It appears to have the luster of an AU coin"
I picked up a raw one a few years back as an XF-45. ANACS liked it enough to drop it into a AU-58 slab, but it doesn't look as nice as that!!!
This date is not impossible with full breast feathers.
I had a DMPL piece about 10 years ago that had full breast feathers. Leroy Van Allen had one at the same time also DMPL that had full feathers.
None the less this is a great AU+++++ example. I'll take ten of these before a railroaded strictly BU example.

Still like yours better
That's a nice coin.

I think there are some dates that you have to see in hand and this is one of them. The pictures look outstanding and if the coin in hand looks like the picture, then 58 is a tad too conservative... even for my taste. WELL DONE. CONGRATS.
edited to add: for the date, I think the lustre is about as good as it gets.
