If not an AU-58, then MS-64 at least...

Nice original luster a few ticks both sides . MS-63+ wouldn't doubt if it would go to 64.

Couple of rim nicks, but nothing major. Yellow light obscuring potential frost. I guess MS65.

A few marks on the gown, sun, and the right obverse field may hold it to MS-64+, but beautiful!

slightly weak strike both sides. could be lighting but the right obverse field looks like the luster is broken in that area. first thought was a decent AU58. just going with the photo I'm in at MS63 due to softer strike and possible missing luster. if the luster is there maybe MS64
Rest in Peace

Cannot see Lib's left left thumb under the veil, so I had to to ask myself why?

There doesn't appear to be any wear - difficult to be really sure from these pictures, but the luster seems to be undisturbed at this point, so it follows that it must be due to a weaker strike. Easily confirmed by hand held examination in sunlight with a 10x loupe. Proofs and sharper strikes show Lib's left thumb.

Therefore, I would have to agree with
MS-64.

Tough call on this one. Lots of marks and some very light friction on the top of the sun so I'd be at MS-60.
