Good afternoon, I have just bought this coin I show to you. My guess is AU58. What do you think? Thank you  |

It looks like a pretty nice Mint State coin to me. It's got some marks that preclude MS-65, but it could be an MS-63.
I must say however that you can't grade a coin like this from photos precisely. You need to them in person.

Looks mint to me too. 63/64. I know luster plays a big part with gold

63, possibly 64. Very attractive.

its tough to tell from what seems to be scans but the details seem MS not AU. Can you take some actual cam shots and post?

From those images I would guess MS64 assuming the luster is full and there's no hidden problems.

Good Evening, As I promised, I took some pictures. Here they are. I'm no good at taking photos. I hope they are enough. Thank you.    |

looks like original surfaces to me
Not sure it climbs as high as MS64 due to the lack of luster required to reach that level and I'm fairly confident it's no lower than MS62. Might be worth sending in if you want it authenticated and graded for best resale. if you're planning on keeping it in your collection for now, let it sit raw. nice looking coin.

Gold is so tough.. What about the rims? I know gold is soft, but they really look like they've seen some action to me.

With the new images I'd go MS63 at best and MS62 a real possibility. The original image of the obverse almost looks doctored relative the second image.

The first image shows an MS-64 candidate coin. Your own pictures are less flattering but probably give a better account of the coin's quality. Might still make mint state, although there does appear to be some friction visible in the left obverse field and on Liberty's cheek. AU-58 seems like a conservative grade but might be what you would get if the coin were submitted for grading to PCGS or NGC.
