Here are 2 more pictures, taken from a slightly different angle.   |

Your coin has the look of a slider that is likely an honest AU55 or 58 and as such would need strong luster to go with its good strike to "market-grade" as MS. The obverse fields seem to have impaired luster - now how impaired they really are can't be determined by the images. I've seen similar pieces grade 62, that's for sure.

Hard to tell if there is *hint* of wear or not. I would say AU-58.

I'm horrible with these, but imo, I see some luster, and will throw an MS60 in the ring.

I'd call it low MS. Nice.

MS61 or MS62 seems about right, let us know how the coin des after PCGS looks it over.

Very close to MS, but not quite IMO. AU-58.

Thanks for your input everyone. I will share the result in a couple of weeks. The reason of my confusion is the following series of pictures. It looks like the AU58 has brighter luster than the MS60 and MS62 AU58  MS60  MS61  MS62  |

While it has a tad bit more luster. All those marks and gouges take it down to the Au level it has been graded. Where abouts the higher graded one shows less luster,but still retains a lot of details without all those baggy marks and gouges everywhere. Your coin is a perfect candidate for a 60+slab.
