sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 7:27 pm Nice strike, The ding above eagle's head stops it from being a 64 or 5. MS-63. Very desirable example. Sharp rim edge and strike detail and stars make me suspect that it may even be a proof. With high end coins, and where there may be a difference in a prospective buyer's opinion on grade, the best way to arrive at a price is to submit for public auction, with a secret reserve. Expect a wide variation of opinion on sold price in this case. It the owner wants to keep it, then a a value doesn't matter much. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinEnthusiast Valued Member United States 485 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 9:59 pm I'm at MS-64 on the coin. The contact marks on the cheek and above the eagle's head could hold it back to a 63, but the eye appeal and strong luster ultimately elevate it to a 64 in my mind. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5676 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 10:04 pm I'd say MS-64, beautiful coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 08/24/2022 11:17 pm Seems unanimous that this is a great coin. MS-65 seems possible. It's an exceptionally beautiful bust half. Report this Post to the Staff

TobyJ Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1273 Posts	Posted 08/25/2022 3:23 pm Pretty good guesses on this one, I think it's a really nice example. It sold for $7,637.50 in 2015 at auction. Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 08/26/2022 7:53 pm Nice...I wheel and deal just at a much smaller level and occasionally I felt like I let them get away. I bet you enjoyed being one of the custodians of this one. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff
