Tough coin. Unfortunately, this one spent some time in water or buried - porosity on the obverse. Tough to grade. Better than an XF, but not a 58. Give this an AU50 details.

I think that this is a type of woody. I have seen this effect before; on lesser and greater scales. If this is indeed a woody then I am thinking MS63BN. There are a lot of reasons to suspect that the surface effect is not from a buried coin that has been cleaned and re-toned. Not the least of which is the uniformity of the surfaces.

The obverse surface is scratched and finely pitted. It's a cool coin in hand, most of the $ value is gone but interesting to look at, IMO.

Thanks for the input all.
