Panama Balboa arrived - Pics Inside

This is the one I got on the bay for $10.50, it came today in the mail and I'm inclined to say AU58 because of a bit of rub on his cheek, the wrapping of the fasces and on her breast. The luster that was in the sellers pic is most certanly there image What do you guys think? Also, how do you like the photo (I'm trying a new setup)?

    That is one of the most beautiful designs ever made, in my opinion.
    I have that coin on my want list. AU-58 looks right, although you
    have to look pretty close to see anything that resembles "rub".

    The photos are terrific image
    What's new about the setup???

    I got a new lamp that has a circular bulb and it originally had a magnifying glass in the center hole of the circular bulb. Couple minutes with the screw driver and the magnifying glass is gone and I take the photo through the opening now. Lights it pretty well and evenly.
