The obverse is a little more "roughed" up so to speak then the reverse. Maybe a little rim nik at 5oclock. Pale luster Au58 obverse.
The reverse is actually quite better with some luster still prominent and this grading a ms61. All in all I think this would grade a MS60

Another shot of the obverse:

I may need to do a reshoot on this one...the coin is quite lustrous on both sides.

Slider. If not AU58, then MS62. Guys, go look at what MS60 gold looks like at Heritage. It'll be a revelation. You wouldn't walk on anything that rough with bare feet.

I am 50/50 on whether or not this is AU-58 or MS. If this coin is Uncirculated it is at least MS-62 and maybe 63.
