pepactonius Pillar of the Community United States 9395 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 8:25 pm To my untrained eye, it almost looks like some wear on the cheek, on the hair by "Y" in LIBERTY, and at the top of the cap. Still very nice, though. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 06:27 am I'll go with AU58 also. Reverse almost looks like a different coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Mikey07nj Valued Member United States 498 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 12:03 pm huge difference in the pictures. look at the clasp in your pics au 58 maybe ms the other pictures looks xf from the clasp. combining the 2 ill say ms 60 hard to say on details I think your flash from the phone is making it look cleaned.hard to grade from pictures on bust halves. I posted one and no one said higher than 58 and it came back 64.id send that one in worth a couple bucks to slab it Report this Post to the Staff

bobs-coins New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 2:46 pm Thanks everyone for all your input. I bought this as an AU-55 at a Silvertowne online auction. The luster got me. I do see some flatness/rub on the high points, I think. I also wonder if it's been dipped. I think I will send it in for a TPG opinion. Also, I need to learn how to take better pictures. The flash wasn't on when I took it, the light is coming from a nearby window. Crazy how different the two sets of pictures look - the first from a camera phone, the second from a microscope. I imagine there's a forum on here about coin photography- I'll look for tips. Report this Post to the Staff
