MS-65, possibly DMPL. That light fingerprint might keep it from higher. Gorgeous coin!

MS-66, and either PL or DMPL (I cannot tell which).

I paid $406 which I think is about wholesale for a 64dmpl. Hopefully it is better when it shows up at my door. Still amazing that you can buy a coin 132 year old cartwheel in this condition for this kind of money. These sold for more when I started collecting.

That is a undergraded dmpl, it may be worthwhile to try reconsideration.

Thanks AO. I'll give it some thought after I examine it in hand.
65dmpl is $1,000 and 66dmpl is $3,500. Maybe I can win the coin slab lottery. lol

From those pics, I agree. Looks under graded to me. Keep us updated if you do send it back for regrade!

Looking at only your second pics I would have said 64-65 PL.
You can't judge DMPL from pictures alone because it is a measurement of depth, not just contrast, that's why I don't attempt to distinguish DMPL from PL when offering grade opinions.

Beautiful coin, but I'm not sure it would upgrade. The surfaces are a bit uneven, and there's that fingerprint...

The second set of pics seem to justify the grade received. Still a beauty- but I wouldn't bet on an upgrade.

Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't really purchase it to upgrade. I liked the coin and I still like it a lot. It looks whiter than the pictures suggest and the fields and devices look flawless without magnification.
