    This little thing set in my collection for over 30 years before I sent it to PCGS.
    Please guess what PCGS had to say.

    AU58? Is that fatness on the reverse diamond wear or strike?

    Softly struck as it was, Larry, this a difficult coin to grade properly. Even so, I think I detect an absence of luster atop some of the high spots. I grade it AU58.

    That's a really nice piece.

    The strike is a bit weak and the luster is somewhat subdued.

    I'm going MS-62

    I do believe that I see some light circulation, especially on the reverse.
    AU58, still a wonderful coin Larry!

    I'll just sit back, read, and learn from what you all say. But, I will say this - that is a pretty coin.

    I think it looks circulated from the photos and I can't see the luster so I'm guessing AU 50. Cool coin overall!
