    Play with your white balance. It's hard to tell from those pics, but it looks like it might be beautiful!

    I was going to say MS62, so AU58 appears to be conservative. Great originality and eye appeal!

    << <i>I was going to say MS62, so AU58 appears to be conservative. Great originality and eye appeal! >>



    I think why PCGS graded it as an au58 is because it has a very few short wispy hairlines that aren't strong enough for the 'hairline genuine grade', but probably drops an ms60 to ms62 coin (which is what this coin technically grades IMHO) to an AU58. (you can see 2 short wispy hairlines just in front of the neck in the field).

    A significant rim ding at 12 on the obverse may have to do with
    the grade.
