You'll see some reeding marks on the obverse and doubling features on the reverse devices:
Guess the grade!

58
Lovely newp, congrats!
I wanted to guess 62+ but I checked the pops and the grade doesn't exist. So 63.

nice coin- I don't know how tough the so-called micro s is or whether PCGS recognizes the variety. I don't think 63 is unreasonable. I would be disappointed with a 58 unless the image is deceptive in terms of establishing an accurate grade.

58, maybe 61 depending on the company.

I follow @Catbert Seated Half set so I already know the grade so I came here just to say sweet coin and congrats.
Dang that's nice!
55
Lovely example!! @Catbert
At first I thought 58 (and deserving of a +), but maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, and I think she might be choice, so, let's say either 62 or 63.
How's that for decisive?!

Thanks for all who guessed. Hard to tell luster from a pic and of course, the prior pics are huge to show the marks. Here ya go for the reveal:
I hope the luster is much better than the pics.

I don't know how to grade these but the luster looks absent in the original pics.
I am pleased to read that our host liked the coin.

Luster on nicely toned coins like this can be very tough to image...............

Interesting how most everyone guessed AU and it's 64CAC. This is a hard grading room. Is CACG hiring graders?
Ahh, so it is there.
The slab shot looks better the shadowing is present.
Wow... tough to grade these higher end pieces from just one photograph that doesn't show luster. I was in the 58 camp too!! Nice piece!!

Very nice coin.
Beautiful coin!, @Catbert
I thought it was AU58, so it had to be MS63 or MS64.
I keep doing this over and over again with my circulated classic commemoratives, trying to get AU58s and they keep coming back MS63 or MS 64 from the graders. I have only a vague understanding what the upper boundary is for AU58 having never collected at that grade level.
I was bummed this Gettysburg closed for such a high price for an AU58. Well, that's because it was MS64.
