[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2430329, member: 24314"]This coin is a highly detailed example w/lots of luster under the toning. Unfortunately, while it may be worth MS-64 money to PCGS and its dealers, this is what the "Poster Child" for AU-58 should look like as the coin has SIGNIFICANT loss of luster/rub on its high points. Look for "bullseye" wear pattern when one surface is worn, then the highest point of the worn surface receives a little more friction giving the appearance of colored rings of wear. BTY, NO one will sell this coin as an AU; yet many oldtimers will not buy it as an Unc. Coins with this amount of rub are usually graded MS-62.
