Thad I will go along with low AU ,,even though it could fall to EF-45 if everything I see is wear and not part of my next paragraph !

I can tell from the steps that it was not a well struck coin to begin with and that maybe part of what I am seeing in the pics on the obverse through the center of the coin .

Im' going to say EF-45, the bottom step looks like it has a flat spot.

I would say EF45 as well.
Is this your first Wide AM find?

Yes, this was a circulation find and my first Wide AM.....very, very lucky.

I believe the issue with the steps is die related. I looked on the web at a few 98 Wide AM's and they all have the exact same feature.

the obverse is awesome! I'm not sure what's going on on the reverse, but I could be convinced that it's a die issue.

I'm really tempted to call this ms based off the front, but knowing you pulled it will let me off the hook and go with AU-58.
