I already showed this but would like to get your opinions on grade again. I know the scratch can be annoying. Someone mentioned a double struck 4 and snow 2. I am not sure what the snow 2 is about and hope someone could show me photos or explain.

Not sure about the 4. I can kinda see it in person but not in the photo.

Grade-wise, I'd say AU-58. Nice coin.

Nice coin! I'd say 55, not enough luster to go higher. The scratch really isn't all that distracting, it shouldn't impact the grade.

Regarding the comment about luster, my light defuser really kills the luster. I'd say this coin has more going on. Here are some straight up images that may change your mind. Not sure if it changes your opinion on the grade but worth looking at.

EDIT- looking at these images again they still dont show what I see in person. This is a much more shiny coin then my photos show.

You think it may have been rubbed with a jewelers cloth? I can't really tell.
