Since pictures can be at times deceiving, I'll estimate the grade at MS-65 red.

I'll say MS-64RD. Fields are nice, but the bust has a number of marks.

. The scuffing on the portrait may hold it to MS-64RD.

Because of all the contact marks on the obverse I figure at best it's AU-53.

First, I wanted to see if I could quote you correctly (LOL)

I know I asked you guys to grade, the chaffing is just the camera not picking up the shine of the coin. Second the two hits seen are with a 50pwr scope. I will give completely ever trying to grade if two very,very very minor hits under a 10pwr loupe drops the grade to a 65 or below. The only thing I am worried about is possibly the strike is weak? PCGS website says a 67 can have up to 4 minor hits with no hair lines or scuff marks[javascript:insertsmilie('')||()]. Make those hits are 50 times smaller than they appear. I still want you guys to help me, I need it. This coin is better than a 66 and I will find out in a few months or post either way. Of course, I want 67's but I was 11 out of the last 12 at 66, the other one 65. so I am improving. Last thing I totally agree pictures are deceiving but not necessarily always in a bad way. I have fixed my email problem and am willing to let one of you examine the coin personally. I will pay shipping both ways. this way when I post a picture it's the real deal (or I hope so) all of this sent with gentle effect

Have to go by the pictures, the obverse friction marks are probably over emphasized by the pictures.

MS-64

I should have taken picture from different angle. The coin is so shiny the camera did this to it

After more review I put the coin back in the roll and moved on. I didn't think it was as bad as it appeared on first picture. Having bought enough ms-64's This one is better than that a 65 I believe
