I was worried it might only grade AU58 when I had it in hand but
it did actually grade MS something

Yeah the emu is a little worn plus the left side of the scroll, with some weakness on the bust. If it did hit the MS grades my money would be on the impaired MS range MS60-61.

I am thinking that is due to a "Soft" strike :ok:

Yeah I hear what you're saying and sometimes we seem to be chatting about everything but coins.Anyway I've given everyone who checks in during the daylight
hours today a chance to chew them over and have a guess as I've learnt some lessons from this small group of coins and I don't mind sharing the experience
