A brown coin photographed on a beige background is very tough to examine... try a matte black background for better contrast.

I am leaning closer to a very nice AU... By the way, the second batch of photos are _MUCH_ nicer!!

What a beautiful coin. I'd personally like a coin like this in my collection vs. a blazing red one. I'd think it's at least ms60 lustrous brown. However, I could see how it might be a au58 because of what looks to be the lightest of wear on the right leaf on the reverse. Though, the King shows no wear. Such a sharp coin. So I'll say either a au 58 or ms 62. My best guess.

I'd have to agree with Alan, AU-58 to MS-60. Very nice coin

Further to Alan's comment, if one was to submit this coin to ICCS, who we are told grade from the obverse only, would it come back with a MS grading? Just curious.

Wear wise the coin looks MS, but the surfaces do not look MS.
I would say ICCS would grade it au58.

The photo does not do the coin justice. it has a luster still and I am going to send it in for grading. Will let you know.

I still feel ICCS will only grade it as high as an AU based on the new pictures.
