The original post photos were taken by PCGS, and the same coin's photos are on Coin Facts under 1812 Large Date. I purchased the coin a week ago, and I thought it was a higher grade 55/58 than PCGS graded the coin. The coin has luster much like a MS coin. It looks the same in hand as shown in the images and a little dark for my taste, but I wanted an original coin. I have been looking over a year for a nice Classic Head. For me it was by far the toughest quality example in my budget to find of any coin that I have collected.

Okay, so I'm lousy at grading these, but surely this is better than a 50!

My intial grade was AU 58.
Think it is much stronger than a 50.
Good eye and good buy!

Frog, maybe this one will make you feel a little better about your grading skills. This series has lots of coins with inconsistent grading. The following coin is a 1812 AU 50 Large Date by NGC

Below is the reverse of a straight graded AU 58 NGC 1812 Small Date and this one could be your for only $9750.00:
