I would like to hear some grading thoughts on this cent. Decent luster left with a full twirl. Thanks!

The green spots on the back concern me. I'd be at AU details for this one, mild environmental exposure.
Rest in Peace

Very nice coin, looks like a Snow-4:

I think AU58 fits well.

Cleaned up nicely!
AU-58 for me as well!
Nice Snow 4
How about a close up of those diamonds...your first pic (maybe it's glare) kinda makes the 2nd 3rd and 4th diamonds look tooled?

The Verdi-Care treatment on the reverse really improved the look of that coin . Still at 55 from obverse but at a 55++ for the coin ; only a hair away from a 58 .

My "full twirl" was referring to the luster. Full twirl = Cartwheel.
