 A quite subtle, rainbow rim tone. I think what it looks like on the bottom rim of the reverse is how all of it will look in person, just a tad bit stronger. |

Not an awful strike, 63/64 I think. This was a fun exercise for me - have a look here, noting mint mark location and the overpolished eagle's right wing: http://www.vamworld.com/1883-O+VAM-54I like it.  |

Old ANACS Slab I'd say they call her at MS64 I think the toning has progressed since she was encapsulated, I've had a few dollars get the brown color over the years in those slabs. Coin looks like it might reach a 65 if the cheeks are clean enough from marks and ticks/scuffs. But once you have in hand maybe you can reshoot better photos. The seller is shooting with very flat lighting so it's a hard call on this coin.

Old ANACS slab? Yes. I forgot to mention that. It's the old ANA slab. |

You'll find that slab likely to enhance the resale value. Nice pickup, even if just for the slab.

I will say MS-62. Luster seems a bit impaired. The MS-61 slab does not surprise me

I will post pictures when the coin arrives, to better determine a grade.

With the coin properly lit now, I say 62 max, more than likely holds at 61.

With the coin in hand, it looks like a 61.
I am glad that the toning looks better then expected.

Before I saw your own photos, I was going to add that I think that the photo is hiding some marks. I think the coin is accurately graded but looks nice, exhibiting that old ANA slab toning. |

after seeing the new pics, I would say MS62 so 61 doesn't surprise me

now seeing it in a different light! MS62 the toning is actually quite nice, I think you would get a bit more using the new photos to sell it as is, I could see the coin being in a MS63 holder pretty easily. But still think it's grade is closer to MS61 or MS62. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
