Another lovely, original and unmolested addition to your collection. I'll bet the luster makes the toning 'pop', and looks much better in hand than the images portray. Nice pickup, Grapes.  |

A razor sharp strike on this coin! It is one of the best strikes I've seen for this denomination. Just look at all that lower feather detail! The toning is very nice, so I'll go with MS-65. Congrats on a very impressive 20 cent piece!  Edited by Finn70

Looking at grading, this coin is solid. I adjusted the images to reduce light, eliminate color, and sharpen contrast. The reverse is spectacular. The obverse only has two contact marks that stand out, a scratch WSW from the "I" in LIBERTY and a lower leg ding on Liberty's left leg. I see it as MS-64, with a possible +0.5 for eye appeal.
Really nice coin!

Nice original skin with eye appeal. The 20 cent series is hard to find in original condition with eye appeal. Nice pick up and I do not know why any collector would want to mess with this coin. MS63.

PCGS gave it MS-63! I think this is worth a sticker and is a 64

I'll take a stab an call it AU58 only because of the finger print you mentioned. However, PCGS probably graded it a 63/64.

Grade aside, a super-looking coin to me. |

Great coin. The drapery is beautifully accented by the golden toning in that area.

I wonder what people think of the technical grade when the toning is stripped away on these images. BF-13 has some spectacular die cracks on the reverse. |
