Grade a Peace for the New Year?

I've tried some different shots of this but it never comes out as nice as it is in-hand. What do you guys think on this one? It has a nice golden toning pretty evenly and I really don't see any chatter marks anywhere except the few on the neck.

What do you guys think on a grade? I'm assuming at least a AU-58 to be on the safe side? Thanks!

    Too much wear for an AU58, IMO.

    Looks like a 62/63 to me. I cant tell from pic if there is any wear. Could be or could be weak strike though the strike is pretty good.

    It is hard to grade it from that photo, given the angle, but I'd say AU-50 to 55. It has near Mint State sharpness, but there is evidence of handling marks that would keep it out of the strict Mint State category.

    Looks AU-something.
