AU-58, very nice strike, surprised the die was able to strike one that nice.

The color of course grabbed my attention, but the grade received from PCGS...I won't quit my other two jobs trying to make a living grading coins.

The marks - which are not really congruent with Mint handling - are what defined the grade, instead of the lack of apparent wear and nicely even toning which belies any surface rub at all. I must reluctantly agree with the grade. It had to have gone somewhere, and been handled somehow. That's "AU58" in a nutshell.

Late die state of GR-17.
