It's one of those coins when it's hard to tell where the strike ends and the wear begins. It's at least an AU-58. It might be MS-62 if the marks in the obverse field are planchet defects that the dies did not flatten because of a weak strike.

I would say that it says MS-62 on the slab.

 

Let's get on with it. I'm chomping on my bit right now.

 

OK, old impatient one. Here goes!

 

I'm not good with these and was expecting to be way off.

 

OK, even though I was wrong at 58, the 62 does not surprise me. I thought it was a tough coin to grade.
