    The coin looks AU58 to me.

    I'm wondering that myself Mark. The luster is subdued and I have just "AU+" in my grade notes for this one. I'm stink at grading Morgans.....I'm a Lincoln guy. I think I'll probably go with AU-58. Let's see what others think.

    Thad, I think you got it right. Liberty's face and upper cap look to have slight wear. And I agree about the subdued luster, which serves as another clue.

    AU58- Definitely hints of circ wear. Sharp details, but luster's completely muted (natural luster that is). If that's a mint-state coin, then I'm a dead horse. :dead-horse:

    The wear in her hair above the forehead and the lack of luster did it for me, too............AU58.

    Im also an au guy but ill go with 55 because a 58 should have almost all its luster i dont see much.

    I want to say AU details - mainly because the color just seems off to me. Just my humble opinion.

    I agree with Mr. Feld -- 58. The reason: Apparently impaired field luster.
