So this appears to be an MS-63 coin with enough rub/wear to drop it to an AU grade. A lot of agreement on the surface condition with differing judgements on rub.
This is why I bought it in a nutshell. Eye appeal of a 63 with the price tag of a 58. I was comfortable overlooking the weak beak given the strength of the rest of the coin. It's damn hard to find these nice unless you're playing in at least the MS64 pool, and that just wasn't in the budget. I mean, here's a 64 from CoinFacts that'd looks pretty similar, although it should have better luster in-hand.

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
If all au58's were like yours, I'd collect nothing but 58's.
