This is in a straight PCGS slab. I was a little surprised by the grade.

Happy guessing!

Photos are small, hard to see; I am going to WAG that it's in the 50-53 range.

I'd say AU-58. It doesn't look like there is much true wear.

I'm thinking quite a bit lower than the previous grades. It looks XF45 to me.

This is a head-scratcher. If it's MS, surely it has to be at least a 63.

Who knows? Thread says it's a challenge, and 58 seems almost too obvious.

With the larger pics, I still don't see any definite wear, so I'm going to raise my bid to MS-63.
