Do they give star designations for the AU58 grade?
My initial reaction was MS64, but both services love these coins with deep toning, MS65 wouldn't surprise me.
I think the toning is natural and I agree that I think you should have it graded by NGC. It probably isn't going to get a premium gem grade, but...
What I remember is that the debates on the TCCS forum were epic!
You can't type "funny story" and then proceed to post a rant in order to call it humorous or comical. That seller ticked you off, you ranted to...
Lol, yeah, I was trying to hide in plain sight.
My initial reaction to the photos was MS64, but I really like the color and associated eye appeal so I bumped it to MS65.
