I think it is a 58 just because of the wear in Liberty's hair.

 

MS-60

I' m in the MS63 camp.
That's a beauty for sure, congs.

 

It appears the luster is thicker in the protected areas. I'm going with lightly circulated.
AU58

 

Textbook AU-58. Clear rub in the high points and some hints of it in the fields. If NGC graded it higher, then this coin is yet another poor victim of gradeflation

 

I agree with a couple posts AU58, but my guess is the TPG graded it MS61

 

If graded lately, I would grade AU62. I agree with others, this is a coin I would have loved 25 years ago when I loved buying up pretty AU coins. Very lovely coin.

 

She's a beauty!

 

AU62?

 

Modern practice of grading AU coins MS grades.

 

Oh my bad. I didn’t know that was a term.

 

Nice try but no such! I'm giving it a push to MS-60, the wear on the head don't matter as it's a great looking coin otherwise! Just so you know, I've been wrong before but it still gets a 60 in my book!

 

I think it looks like an old-school 58, from what I can see. Great strike and patina too.

 

I find it funny you only give it a 60, when all agree that this is not an uncirculated coin. Pretty sad, huh?

 

I’d agree with AU62. It’s not an UNC coin and the technical grade is probably AU58, but I guess the label says MS62.

 

My grade: the nicest AU-58 you'll ever see anywhere.

 

It is a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek term. Sometimes, you'll find coins graded MS-62 that have a bit of rub on the high points. Just the slightest bit, and it might be hard to see, but it's there. The coin is clearly superior to an ordinary AU-58, but it technically has rub.

So, the cynics amongst us (and I am one), call it an "AU-62." Not a real grade, more of an insult.

 

As to the OP's coin - that is a gorgeous AU-58.
