'Tain't a 58. And 'tis not better than your previous. But are very nice, though. :)
1. Dunno. AU-58? Very interesting piece. 2. MS-62 3. AU details, cleaned. EDIT: could be the pictures.

PCGS uses a rarity scale that is out of 10. 200 correlates with their R-7. Here's an example with the egregiously-overpriced common 1893 S...

Nevermind, I saw something and confirmed it in Cherrypicker's
I'm not seeing the S. Is it not supposed to be obvious for this variety? Pretty coin, though.
So, why is it called a "heart" scarab?
