[QUOTE="illini420, post: 753450, member: 19423"]I agree that for many an AU58 is preferable than an MS61. However, based on the look of this coin from the photos, it's either an AU58 or an MS63/64 (as the best sliders should be). That said, I agree with some of the previous posters in thinking that Heritage or the consignor would have tried to upgrade if they really thought the coin was Mint State. Additionally, dozens and dozens of expert coin people had the chance to view this coin in hand at the auction. Assuming some of them looked at this coin, if only one of those people thought it was really an MS coin, the coin would have cost you more than what you paid as they would have bid stronger on it. Your best bet is to study it closely on your own. If you can't see any wear on the coin, then take it with you to the Long Beach show and show several dealers/experts and get their free opinions. Even show it to David Hall when he does his free coin review at the show. If a few of those folks tell you to resubmit, then maybe you should. If most tell you that it's an AU58, then it most likely is.[/QUOTE]
