I agree with the majority here. I was pretty certain it was a solid MS 63/64, and that it was under graded by NGC. Always buy the coin and not the slab.  |

MS-64, if it was a better date it would be worth re-slabbing.

Well, if you got it for an MS-61 price, I'd say you came out pretty good.

Is it the lighting? Obverse high points look rubbed. A little less on the reverse.
Nice luster underneath the skin.
I am at AU58.

It appears to be a little better than 61. At least to me.. I had 63/64 in my mind

My guess would have been MS64! Nice coin!  |

I was in initial agreement with acloco at AU58, I was certain there was a rub on the lock above the ear, slight wear on the upper hair detail, and some wear om the high points of the log. Nice luster and toning, but I still can't get my head around a 64 or 65. Maybe it's just flatness of strike.

Looks like you were closer than I was.
When it comes to the MS-61 grade I admit to being clueless. I mean, what does that mean? Cabinet friction? Surely it's not the surfaces in this case.

I guess I'm the biggest loser! 61 is such an odd grade. Nice looking coin none the less.

I was also confused about the ms 61 grade. There is some discoloration in the toning on some of the high points, but under magnification it does not appear to be wear, so I'm wondering if it might just be a slightly weaker strike. NGC must have come to the conclusion it was not wear to give a MS grade, but I'm not sure what held them back to a 61.
