I think this just makes MS-63. Love the toning! Beautiful coin!

The local dealer was actually selling it at MS65.. but at a deeply discounted greysheet bid price for MS65. I was torn between 63 and 64 on it.. figured it was probably 63. But, I loved the toning on it, so I went for it.
I hate when dealers use tactics like that.. Make you think you're getting such a great deal, but in reality they price it correctly for the real grade. I think I probably wont be visiting him anymore.. My suspicions were confirmed :)

Very nice my guess is AU58.  There appears to be slight wear around the leaves and cotton balls. I blew the photo up 400%. and all of the high spots show touches of wear. Great great photos what are you using for a camera and lens. Please! Edited by Las_Vegas_Larry

Nikon D40x on a tripod set to Aperature mode. The F-stop is set to 5.6 I believe for these.
I use a remote trigger (they are actually really cheap) and I have two Ott Lite's above the coin.
I'm just using the standard 18-55mm lens that came with the camera.

I see it as MS63, a mite to baggy in the face to even think of getting a64 grade...One must remember the grade is how it looks in had, any good camera will greatly magnify the smallest of details to where you would never receive anything over AU58,,,,its as good comparing it to other coins of the same rating.

It is a 63, but one of the purtiest 63s I have ever seen. NIce eye appeal! Enjoy that coin
