This coin is one of the nicest ones I have I changed lighting trying to get a good picture of the luster. But, it didnt work so well.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/16/2006 10:15 pm I think the mark coming out paralel of the nose on the cheek will keep it from MS-65, that is one place where marks keep the grade down and that mark is very distracting. It may grade a 64 but I think that mark will keep it from 64. it may not even grade as high as 64 but that wasn't the question Report this Post to the Staff
B12 Valued Member United States 151 Posts	Posted 09/17/2006 01:36 am I can tell the pics are hiding luster so if it has enough luster I'd say MS64.Not 65. Report this Post to the Staff
ChristinaM Pillar of the Community United States 547 Posts	Posted 09/17/2006 1:50 pm From the pic provided, I would say a 63. Bryan is right about that hit right next to the nose being distracting. 64 is a possibilty, but I can't tell from the pics what the luster is like. If you are having a hard time capturing the luster try taking the picture using just sunlight. I use sunlight all the time and this is how they turn out: https://goccf.com/t/8008 ~christina Report this Post to the Staff

The original coin posted, in my opinion, is an easy 64 but not quite 65 in today's strict grading atmosphere. I've seen similar in 65 slabs, though. Report this Post to the Staff
