I pretty much agree with the others. AU55 to AU-58. Steal of a deal at $60 plus the 58 FE and 59 IHC. Great purchase!

I am still using my Celestron Micro Direct 1080p HD Microscope. What I changed was the light source, I happened to have lying around, made by LimoStudio. The LEDs built into the scope are too direct, and unnatural of a light.

I'm just making an assessment based on what I see. higher end AU coin technically. I think the coin may have been improperly stored for quite a while and maybe exposed to higher humidity resulting in what appears to be a crusty almost rusty surface on both sides. if this is the actual look of the coin in hand I wouldn't be surprised to see a details designation on it for ED. just my opinion

Looks undergraded. Love the sharp feather detail in the eagle's breast.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I agree, it is definitely better than the 1858 I subbed.

Nice example. What set of photos (True View or OP photos) does the coin look like in hand?

Trueview almost always does well at capturing a coin as it looks in hand, does well at it here as well
