I wanted to wait till I got it in hands but I'll just share it anyway It's always too hard to wait, and I can't blame you. That's a great looking coin!  Edited by Canadian-Banknotes

I often deliberately wait a couple minutes before posting so you guys don't think I'm stalking you.  Love the coin. |

@Superdave, I want to try getting it CAC. It wasn't easy finding a nice coin like this. My friend told me to try Half Cents and that's when I found it. I was looking at Large cents but nothing is different. @Canadain, Haha, you're right on time then. |

You got that right. That's how I see "AU58" as well - it's unlikely that a coin would have circulated for a month and then been pulled from use to be held for the next 100+ years. You want to hold the coin, you get it brand-new and hold it. "AU58" is a sort of copout (not necessarily a pejorative) to cover coins which do not present incontrovertible technical evidence that they've never circulated. This could be as much a factor of strike as anything else, and IMO usually is. To my mind, the TPG's don't spend enough time evaluating strike in context as they ought. |

Copout seems like the right word, its definitely the safe call to make. Theres some you look at and think if thats AU there must only be a handful of MS coins. Questionable color is the copout that annoys me more though. On the bright side it means you can get some really nice coins cheaper. A lot seems to be nicer than low MS coins. I'm curious if the market as a whole will figure that out and well start seeing 58 prices be higher than say 61s. |

Whenever I get it, I'll take HD pictures that WILL show anything on the coin.
So we'll see if it has wear. I'm guessing the hair is a touch worn and that's what makes it AU-58.
Also, any light scratches on the slab can be fixed by me.

I love this coin. I think you will be most pleased with it. It appears it received an AU58 for light rubbing that discolored from the brown on the hair above the eye, on the bust, and the high point hair curl, even if it is ever so slight. I eagerly await your own photos once you receive it!
