I'm not seeing any luster so I'll call this one AU50.

I own a PCGS AU55, and this one has much stronger detail than mine, though mine appears to have more luster. As others noted, the lack of luster is of concern; but since I have been looking at these a lot online, this one is comparable to many MS61-MS62 examples I have seen that look also lackluster. That being said, it's a tough call for me. Is the picture hiding luster that may be visible in hand? I'm guessing if it were sent in for grading, it would at least make a 58.

Tough call on a very well struck FE Cent. AU53 or MS62.
