[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 3022775, member: 87737"]I'm going to add that I have been staring at this coin incessantly. I do see a break in the luster on the Pilgrim's cheekbone, but nowhere else on the obverse. On the rev, The mast *may* be showing a break in the luster, but I really can't tell. I was expecting a break in the luster on the corner of the Bible, as it looks like there is wear, but I still see luster there. I'm wondering if it could just be a slightly weak strike in that locale. When I was buying the coin, I was expecting AU58, but now that I have it in hand, I'm stumped. Why is it so much more difficult to grade your own coins then other people's?!?!?[/QUOTE]
