    It might just be the picture, but it looks AU58 to me. There is either weakness or slight wear in the crown, on the headdress and the cheek of the obverse, as well as other high points. There also appears to be slight wear on the reverse.

    I think it may go 62 but I do not see it going higher

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Mojo: I'd like to see a photograph of this coin with less brightness and more contrast to better discern the area on Victoria's cheek that appears to be some type of frost break that was likely caused by either coin friction during manufacture or transport (Mint State), or perhaps post mint very light cabinet friction (AU).

    I hope that the red ink at the top of the reverse is only on the slab, and not inside on the coin...
