    Key date found, need help grading

    I pulled this 38d out of some MWRs today, it's in really good shape, it has lots of mint luster and a lot of detail in jeffersons hair, some of the steps are worn off though. This is way better than the other key dates I've found. Can anyone give me an idea of what it would grade as if I were to send it in?

    1/100 of an American dollar is a cent. It is NOT a penny. The word penny is used by several other countries, such as Great Britain, to denote their smallest denomination. In order to be numismatically correct, you must use the term cent to describe the American coin.

    From the pic it looks like a 1958D due to the angle of the light. Congrats however!

    The back actually has more detail than the picture shows, just the steps are slightly worn. I am going with AU-50(ish) that seems like what the average is for what everyone has said. Thanks everyone for your input. Maybe some day I will invest in a camera that has a better macro setting haha, for now I have to just use my phone.
