Those pictures are a prime example of just how good an AU-58 can be.
Without seeing the slab I would have been guessing MS-something.
And the "something" would have been up around 65.

Mine is an MS-63 and I don't have a picture of it.
It and all of its FE and IHC friends are in a bank safe deposit box.

Don't worry about it llewellin....and kanga...very nice....they jump in price at MS-63 or MS in general. that's a real good one.....keep em safe there....I only like to have a handful out at a time before going back in to the banks....When I get rid of this one, it will be with the upgrade of the coin to the next level....hopefully a 63.....somewhere in the $900 $1100 range....when I get better shots of the obverse one day I'll see what you think then and others as well....maybe it needs to be cracked and resubmitted to PCGS....but that's for another time and a consensus on the grade will be needed.

@DoctorBurnzy

I believe you are creating confusion when you say you are posting "stock photos." Stock photos would be a generic representation of the coin you purchased and useless here. What you have posted are the "seller's photos." Big difference.

From now on, if the pics are of the actual coin you purchased but the pics are not yours, use "seller's pics" or something to that effect, not "stock."

You're right....they are the original seller's photos...I have a bunch of those...I really don't like to use them unless I have to......and I will add my own to them at some point to a post if I do use them....just to show true ownership...and perhaps to get a better photo if I think I can do it.

I agree with you on that one. I'm really not sure what this is about. Nice coin though.

GC and HA often take really good photos and I have no problem using them, most of the time. There are, however, times when I feel I can and have done better. When I get a coin I bought and it looks better in hand, that is an indication I can probably do better with my rig than GC or HA did in the 10 s they spent imaging my coin.

AU-58 coins often are "interchangeable" with MS-62 coins, especially if they have a CAC sticker. Tough to tell from pictures, but reverse has a bit of a mushy look.

More like 63/64 especially with CAC. 61/62 are usually more like 53/55s

At least now a days anyway.

Looks great regardless of the AU or MS discussion. Proud piece of history.
