Wow, nice pick, no matter what the grade is.
I wouldn't rule out AU58 but, because it is such a common date, I think it may still grade mint state . . . 64, if that's the case.
I have at least a dozen . . . Coincidentally, I was thinking about them today. I've got perhaps a dozen counterfeit gold coins I've bought over...
I agree that it looks like a grease filled die strike.
Very cool. While my wife takes no interest, my daughter also does not at this time, but used to sit on my lap when in grammar school and search...
