Love the toning.
Looks MS but having hard time grading with these pics. Can you take some straight on?
Edit: Cropped pics are better. MS62/63

Very much appreciated, dollarman. Mind if I borrow the cropped pics? They look much better.  Thank you, MontCollector. |

Agree straight-on pics would help. Looks like a 64 to me so far.

when you take photos of a coin try to get a straight down look at them rather than a slight angle. it will help reduce the reflective light and show the surfaces better. its very hard to tell what the cheek looks like and how much luster is remaining. the second set of pics are a little better. based on the pics I got at MS63

Yeah. I know, guys. Whether using a light tent, natural light, professional camera, etc., my straight-on shots tend to be deceptive (misleading appearance). I agree that the angled shots aren't the best, though, so I'll take another stab at it. The coin does have some luster, which isn't evident in the pics I posted.

It is really hard to show luster on a toned coin. Most come out flat and dull looking. Your picture quality looks good and clear.  Just do the best you can at the straight on shots. There are a lot of helpful hints here http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=81 |

Thanks, Mont. I visit that forum often...but obviously not enough. lol
Anyway, I added straight-on shots in my initial post.

I hope you don't mind...I adjusted your white balance a little.   I amend my grade to MS63 could go 64. |

I don't mind at all. Maybe I need to start paying you guys for photo editing. lol

facial and breast feather rubs...
otherwise pristine with flow lines and original luster
toning exceptional and therefore deserves a bump grade!
MS-63+
