One on hand, AU-58 seems too low.
On the other, It looks like I messed up on this Buff with MS-64
Perhaps the actual grade is in the middle, at MS-61 or 2.

For those prepared to pay slabbing fees, perhaps a re submission may be in order.
Nevertheless, it is worthy to remember that the TPGrader gets to examine in hand, with a 10x loupe, under ideal lighting conditions.
We don't.

It's hard to grade from pictures also so don't be too hard you yourselves. I have no problem sending a few of my coins in to see if they upgrade at PCGS. I guess it's like gambling let's see what happens. I don't know why this is au58 it looks just as nice as ms64 coins I have when held side by side. I'm sending these in next week I'll keep you posted when I find out anything have a good day it's almost Friday.

Good Luck to you in sending it in. At first glance, without the coin in hand, I would think it can get a MS60-63. It is a nice strike, and a lovely coin.

First set of pics I questioned whether it was AU. Later pics look convincing for MS. I think there's an outside shot at 64, but with the subdued luster and cabinet rub/slide rub (whatever it may be) I'd say better chance at MS63.

Good luck and keep us posted!

i agree with dsking. grading by photo is hard enough. your photos do not appear to show any wear on this coin but maybe they saw something we cant. you need to look at the coin in hand under a 10x to see if you see any signs of circulation

PCGS did a good job with the photos. I sent these coins in last month and my coins shipped today. AU58 is the grade.

someone got some dang good eyes if they can see circulation on this coin. I'm still trying to figure out how this coin is less than 65

I'm seeing a couple very fine hairlines on the obv. toning is a little blotchy. on the reverse some flatness of the horn and split of the tail and a few more hairline than the obv on the shoulder and body as well as little blotchy toning here also.
