The coin has enough apparent rub and high-point wear to suggest a low AU overall grade. However, luster is more in line with the assigned AU-58. The hairlines and reverse scratch don't look severe enough to detail the coin but they should at least cause some net-grading. AU-53 or maybe 55 would be a suitable compromise.

Seems likely that the Trueview business model is more about pleasing the customer with flattering images than providing a neutral representation of the coin.

I actually think Trueview makes the coin look worse.

Always seems to be hiding something, aka doctored.
