Trying to photograph this coin is difficult with my limited skills and the luster. Here are some shots taken at various angles. The coin is a bit darker in hand but not as dark as the seller's photos. I am on the fence myself between AU58BN / MS64BN. It will head off to PCGS or NGC here in about a month and I will pop for the best imaging.

The woodgrain texture is very prominent on the reverse, and less so on the obverse.

The rub on the obverse high points and apparent breaks in the cartwheel spokes in the left and right fields makes it look AU. The toning is also distrubed, it should match the reverse...."cabinet friction"?

The reverse is awesome - it's a 50/50 shot with the TPG's but they usually give these a 63RB.

Is it me or late at night. Is the graining effect running in opposite directions on each side? If so, ain't right, alloy stock just don't work that way. Kinda looks like the one I have in a bodybagged NGC, says "UNC-DETAILS Altered Color"
