A FEW MORE BARBERS ARE BACK - Howabout another guess the grade?

Here are a couple shots taken with minimal artificial light, so that the rainbow toning in the fields shows, I'll try to get some better shots to show the detail shortly.

Have at it, guys & gals!!
Don't you know that it's worth
every treasure on Earth
to be young at heart?
And as rich as you are,
it's much better by far,
to be young at heart!

    DoubleEagle nailed it - AU58. I'm trying to talk myself into thinking it could go MS60 if I resubmit a few more times, but the more I look at it, I have to agree, it's just a very solid AU58. It does have very nice nice dark toning that doesn't show in the pics - a lot of blue-green in the fields, with some orange & yellow around the rims. Luv-A-Lee!!image

    Regardless of the assigned grade - I agree with Tyler & John - there's enough rub on the cheek & hair line to call it an AU 55. The fields do appear to be AU 58, however.

    Nice looking coin ... image
