Thanks for all the interesting comments and observations. I think it is at least AU58 but I probably won't have it graded.
This description was included for the auction and may answer some of your questions.
It's Late Die State and that may explain the reverse look. The back of neck area is also mentioned.
Yes, the provenance of Punchard and Holmes is impressive especially now that my grand daughter will add ...and my Pop Pop owned this too.
There was a Grellman grading card included and Bob assigned an EAC grade of EX45.
