    Yes, but Liberty's breast has luster, it just appears somewhat dark from the toning. High points though are the left hip and right heel; eagle's breast and leg.

    63 looks about right based on the images.

    Probably not gonna be the answer you wanted, but PCGS will grade coins as high as MS67 that have light wear on them. Are you sure it isn't wear ?

    I don't have it anymore I guess it could be very minimal wear :eek:, hence the darkness , Does NGC do the same ?

    Unfortunately yes, they do in some cases. The darkness could also easily be toning.

    I've seen better AU-58's than a lot of MS-63's. As stated above grading coins is something that must be done in person. Viewing a image through a monitor simply won't work. What’s important here is that you’re happy with the purchase you made. If you're going to buy a coin, buy it because you like it. It's been a while since I've been in the area but you might want to check out the Danbury and New Haven shows as well if you don't already.

    My opinion, AU-58. The best that I can tell from looking at the pics is that there appears to be some slight traces of wear on leg area. No matter what, that's a BEAUTY!!!!:D

    I can't form my own opinion. I have to wait for Doug and borrow his...

    p.s. the coin looks nice for a 63, and I don't need Ruben or Scrooge to form an opinion. :p

    I have taken many scans of coins and this half looks like it has a real nice luster. Yes the high spots on a coin usually don't have the same luster because the metal isn't pressed against the mold with the same pressure. The problem I have is to say to someone that it looks like a 3 or it looks like a 4 to me and them have them say, well on CT they told me it was a XXX and I used CT as an example; I very easily could have used my name in its place. But I will stick with my original comment which is it can be anything between a 58 to a 63. Depending on the day or how many times you submit the coin and which company grades it.
