<< <i>and your opinion of it? AT/NT........AU/MS, and the only question that really matters...are you happy with it >>
NT, no question at all. As for AU/MS, the real answer is "superslider," the kind of thing we usually see in a 62 holder but hope to find in a 58.
It's a great fit for the type set it will be joining.
Todd may correct me on this, but upon close inspection, I am going to out on a limb and say I believe this will go PCGS MS64. Here's why;
The toning is beautiful no matter the source, but I believe it's natural. The original luster it there, the strike is razor sharp except for the top two stars, the reverse is very sharply struck. The left corn ear looks to be 100% complete (very rare to see) and indeed the wreath looks to be close to 100% as well.
It's funny how toning really throws people off - I have to admit it does me as well. But in this case, the toning is very pleasant. I bid on this coin, but was third high bidder. Congrats on winning it! And if you ever want to sell, I will buy it!
Take care,
