It occurs to me that I never offered an opinion of the coin. One plausible cause for the reason I'm calling it AU58 is that the coin managed to break into circulation, jingle around for a while in a change purse, and maybe not be handled more than a few times before some kid kept the new shiny for good. But the quantity and varying character of the marks on the obverse and top reverse are more consistent with circulation handling in a small crowd of coins than bag handling from the Mint.
