Hoping these are not boring for all of you. I send a bunch of dollars in to try to learn / understand the CACG grading. Here is another for your review.

I'll guess MS-63.

This one seems classic for Wayte Raymond / National Coin Album toning. Nice coin! The obverse has a little too much chatter on the cheek and rims for 64. It looks like a solid MS-63 on the obverse. The reverse is better, with almost no contact marks on the central devices and only a few marks in the fields. I see the reverse as MS-64. I could see this as a bourse floor MS-63 with a possible half step bump to MS-63+. Again, CAC seems to have a difficult time distinguishing natural from artificial toning, but this is clearly natural. From the photos, this coin looks semi-prooflike, but in hand it may be closer to prooflike. Nice one!

i agree with FC the toning on this one is original. its really close to MS64 as they may have bumped it for the eye appeal
