I pretty much cherrypicked this from an online auction (not ebay), but I am really having a tremendously difficult time deciding a grade.

I initially was expecting an AU coin at best, but the coin has really strong luster throughout, and the reverse is really strong and essentially mark free.

3 sets of photos. 1st set is what I had to work with when buying. 2nd and 3rd are my photos with different lighting to emphasize luster or details.

Tough to say from here Beefer ... your 2nd set of photographs appear to show an MS example. Nice coin.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

I agree - that second set looks like a strong 63.
