Hey folks Let me know what your guesses are for this coin. It has superb luster even with the toning and full cartwheel. Thanks!   |

some lack of detail, probably due to not the freshest of dies.
If that is right, then
MS-64.

Such a beautiful design IMHO, MS-64 also.

Toning makes it difficult to see surface details clearly, especially in the right obverse field, which seems to suggest scattered marks. Could be MS-64, but perhaps only a 63.

shadows may be hiding markers. AU58 or as high as MS64. using these photos i'd be comfortable at MS63, there looks like quite a few scratches/marks under that toning. especially on the right obv field

That's a beauty. 64 with a shot at 65.

Strike is reasonable (split thumb; a lot of head detail).
Scratched on the left leg and (maybe) the rays.
I think it's still MS and 64 would be quite reasonable.
Describe it as if there were no picture.

I'm with panzaldi, could be AU-58 or MS-63/64.

Some bag marks in the right obverse field, I'd say MS-63.

Ns- I've looked at it under high power loupes, there's no surface issues.
Also, the breast is notorious for flat spots there for weak strikes.
There is luster on the breast.
Panzaldi- There are a few ticks on the right side, but also a few that are superficial.
Anyone that knows this series also knows that the right side is also notorious for marks showing up, even on gem coins.
