I have a few of these but thought this was the best. Any grade thoughts?

With the high rims the obverse doesn't start showing wear, except on the rim, for a bit. The center of the reverse is the first part of the coin to show wear, and on this example I can't be sure if the darker colors near the center are indicators of hand oil or simple toning.

The luster which is most evident in the protected areas of the design elements show that some discoloration has occurred in the fields rather consistently.

I'd put this a AU-58 (US Grading) and no hint of cleaning or dipping. I like it.

Thanks moxking.

Any other opinions? It seems that the World Coin Grading forum is not frequented...

I will not be sending any of these off for grading but am trying to hone my eye and have a better idea what to label them.

Thanks to anyone for their input!
