Just to clarify, this is not the same coin as the one I have posted for sale.

I'll go 62, though would not be surprised to see a 58 (slider).

For comparison, here is another example of this coin purchased from a Great Collections auction, graded MS-60 by NGC. This coin has brighter luster and more "pop" than the OP's coin, although contact marks are a bit more obvious. Strike also appears a little stronger. The OP's coin seems to have reduced luster overall, likely from slight circulation. I expect it should grade no higher than this MS-60, with AU-58 more likely.

Jaobler, I think that is more a question of comparing photography; I try to avoid hot highlights for these so all the surfaces are clearly visible (although I did not do that great on the reverse).

Anyways, I thought this coin should have graded MS-63.. however, perhaps the reverse is to blame, since now that I look I suppose the surfaces do look a little sloppy.

NGC graded this one MS-62.

I think the obverse field marks held this one back to 62. Nice original coin.
