I am going to guess they gave it AU-58 details.

I agree, AU58.

Obverse: There is a tiny amount of wear on Lady Liberty's boobs, hair, both hands and high points in Her drapery.

Reverse: Tiny amount of wear, most apparent on the the eagle's beak and on the tops of the wings.

Fields and rims reasonably intact. Bars on the shields both sides also reasonably intact. That helps to lift it above AU55.

The golden light does not allow much to be said about the patination, otherwise well photographed.

I wish that this coin was mine!

This one is a split decision for me. Since the obverse carries the grade I'll have to say AU58.

Another vote for AU-58 details. Unless the photos seriously misrepresent the color and luster this coin appears to have been cleaned. I don't think it could slab as problem-free at any of the major TPGs.

Its probably unc details, any 'wear' on coins like this is usually because of the wiping itself I think.

Actually, we were all pretty close on this one. That ain't too bad!

muddler: Next time, we may be able to save you some money on a submission you may be in two minds to submit. With numerical grading just delete the highest and lowest scores, and average the rest. They do that with Olympic scoring!
