    Personally, I'm not sure it's possible to tell whether the coin is AU-58 or MS from images.

    i think the price has told me what i wanted to know.

    now i was not lazy and i sent several emails to the seller.
    they described the coin pretty well, and i have a feeling
    some people may be disappointed about that 64-65 grade image

    thanks to folks here, i am not going to risk my money
    on pictures. i will save and goto a coin show or buy from
    a trusted dealer.

    Wow!

    $721 for a raw coin?

    The buyer must either have a lot of confidence or else he's really counting on being able to return it because "it's not as described" if it turns out to be an AU-58!

    Looks 64... That is, if:

    1) There's no rub
    2) It's not whizzed
    3) It not fake

    i asked about the return policy.
    there is none. the coin is shown perfectly fine.
    the sellers consider this an auction, not a preview
    service.

    i even asked if they would do a 10-15% restocking fee.
    that is not what they want at all. hammer it and good bye.

    From the pics I would spend 58 money hoping for a 64. I agree that unless it can be seen in hand it is not worth much more.
