  I'm just curious why you say AU. I don't see any wear on the coin and no luster breaks while rotating the coin.

  OK MS61/62 Looks like a lot of chatter.

  It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  It may just be the way that the light is hitting the coin on the picture...between 2-3 o'clock past the "ca" it looks to me like wear...and it also carries to the top of the eagle's right shoulder...it could very possibly be a shadow, and if there is not wear, then I would probably say MS 62...based on the contact marks...but since you have it in hand, obviously you would know if there is rub.

  I think this series is most difficult to photograph anywhere near accurately.

  Too much light saturation to see any luster. Looks like a very nice strike but a lot of chatter. Either AU58 or low MS.

  MS 62....Although, I would not be suprised to see this coin in a 63 holder.
  
  Need better pictures to say for sure...try holding a piece of white paper between your light source and your camera.

  Technically it is mint state, but there's lots 'o rub on that coin. And all in the primary focal areas. So it's a 55-58.

  This is just an area of weak strike. It is not a high point on the coin, so you will not find wear there, at least on this one.
