  Hard to grade from those pics. Looks AU 58 if I had to guess.

  That looks like the new chinese counterfeit that's out there. You can tell by looking at the rays above IGWT from the w to the u

  What made you determine this?

  I'd be curious to know as well. What about the rays is different?

  I'd go about 62 or maybe even 61? Looks like it's got lots of small hits.

  Photos make me guess AU63. Nice looking coin, but impossible to look for rub.

  Okay, I'll assume by your statement that there could be a counterfeit, so how do you tell??

  I grade the photo overexposed and unevenly lit. I would not take a stab at the numerical grade of the coin.
