In hand this one seems to be wanting to turn in to some colorful toning just hasn't gotten there yet. What would you grade?   |

Hard to tell what the luster looks like from the photo lighting. I'm leaning towards MS63 but the off color on the whole breast has got me leaning towards an AU. Can you try a few more pics with different lighting?

This one was tough to capture. I may need to take pictures with a different camera. I basically use 3 light sources directly on the coin, however the white balance on the camera I'm using right now tends to kill the luster. My older camera captures luster better however I can't get close up with it. One of these days I'm going to have to steal from the coin budget and but myself a really nice camera.

I don't know much abot grading, but I'm leaning AU. There is to much wear on the high points for MS.But its a nice coin!  |

It looks like it's either AU55 or a weak strike MS62 or 63. Tough call from photographs.

From what I can see I would call it MS-62 looks like a weak strike on the reverse.
Nice coin to add to your collection.

I'm thinking AU55 since there seems to be wear on a lot of the higher points.

I don't really see any rub just some strike weakness
MS-63 seems reasonable ... might grade higher if it has good luster in hand

Hard call with the photos.
I would love to call this a 62, but the breast is weak for an S mint and there are fingerprints... maybe it is an AU...

Just do it with the intent of storing it and you'll have a nice NT. If you do it with the intent of toning it, it will be AT. If you don't remember what your intent was, it will be QT. PS: Hehe. |
