If it’s an option, straight-on images would be better for assessing the coin. If not and you don’t already own the coin, be extra cautious.

Am I seeing small raised bubbles on each side?

It’s fine to these eyes but the better question is why slab a AU common date worth near melt. The liquidity bump only helps in retail and it is easier to just let a dealer see it in and and pay the gold out.

AU58 looks right to me, too, from what I can see. But I wouldn’t try to buy a coin in that apparent condition, while based on those images.

What’s up with the obverse rim doubled along the bottom?
And to a lesser extent, on the reverse also?

Looks genuine. AU58.

The collar is slightly larger than the die so a little metal is squeezed up outside the die and inside the collar.

Agreed, even though cryptos' comment had a bit of 'cougarsism' to it.

My first impression is 58

To me in hand the coin looks like a low grade Unc., typical hairlines but lots of luster.
Here is one I sold to a flea market vendor who has had it in his case since July. It looks dull and lacking luster.
MS60 RGDS!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
55.
May I be so bold as to ask what cougarsism is?
To me that is like the time my buddy’s mom felt me (all the way) up while tipsy at a holiday party when I came home in leave from the army. That was courarsism in most contexts as I am aware of. Like my wife, I would be disappointed to be involved with a numismatist. Although I’m sure the OP is quite the catch.

Notice the splotchy field textures on the OP’s coin and the matte wing/shoulder area, while the ms62 has consistent textures in the fields minus the contact marks

First thought was 58

Those photos appear like the scans some dealers use to display their inventory, and that style of photo does not lend itself well to illustrating luster, so I wouldnt assume the coin looks that flat in hand. Reminds me of AUCM's photos, the coins likely look better in hand.

Isn’t there a ton of PVC residue on this coin?
Most likely but not a ton. A ton on a coin can get 3 dimensional on the surfaces not a film.
