  Did you pay MS money for it or AU money for it?

  funny. took me a moment to catch on. I looked at the coin first,
  silly me, and thought gee, that could possibly be MS... then saw
  the grade :-| heh.

  Yes I also checked that out, yet it's only the 2nd OGH insert error I have ever seen.
  
  The other was a 1921 Morgan with Peace on the slab insert.

  I collect error slabs and I've never seen an MS paired with a number lower than 60. Nice!

  I remember seeing that on the bay. Was tempted! Did you buy it?

  I agree with using the MS58 grade for coins that are worse than
  
  MS61/0'S in eye appeal due to mint/FED stacking friction, bad bag dings, and horrible eye-appeal.
  
  Then you could have super AU-58's called AU63, etc based on special strike, monster eye appeal
  
  but little indication of commerce under the glass.
