[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1097272, member: 2972"]PCGS graded it 58, which is exactly what I had predicted. I thought it was going to be easy, as even the new guy got it right after seeing the side-by-side photos. ;) :) Then again, my photos are taken with the light at about 45 degrees to show the color. The result is photos that do a terrible job of judging luster, which is VERY important in these AU grades. As for this coin. I like it. I bought it. However, if I had it to do all over, I would have waited for a nice example without the distracting obverse toning. I haven't been able to find the receipt so we can't discuss the price I paid versus the guides. However, I wrote the dealer who I bought it from a note in hopes he kept a record. Once I hear anything I will update the thread and discuss price-vs-grade-vs-guide.[/QUOTE]
