Hi All,

I bought this one at the LCS over the weekend. I got it at AU price so no worries but the flip said UNC. I'm curious what you think.

tough call from photos, AU-58 probably, but if it shows luster then perhaps MS-63

Not the best pics, but certainly not less than AU-58.

I think I need to be in the market for a new phone/camera. Maybe a Pixel. Seems that my photos, either with the micro cam or current phone, are never that great. Thanks for the grade opinions all the same. ( and the patience with the pics)

luster is very tough to photograph, there's really no good substitute for holding a coin in one's hand then angling it to see how light reflects off its surfaces to look for luster's cartwheel effect

coins above XF40 may have some level of luster remaining. the lighting is not the best to grade from which makes it challenge to see the remaining luster and determine circulation wear. based on what I see the coin looks AU58. all the high points seem to have signs of circulation.
