Is it an O/O variety? dave700x, am I that transparent?  Or do you have a really good monitor?  Snagged it too! It's on lay-a-way for another (pay)day.  Edited by oih82w8

Probably a 65, but I would pass on this one personally as the photo shows average luster and a somewhat soft strike. There are better ones out there, and being this is a common date I would shop around and wait. Just my humble opinion.

 MS65. I too would like a stronger strike. But a very nice piece just the same. And o/o variety to boot. Nice snag.  |

I see this as an easy MS-64, probably 65. The cartwheel appears to be stellar! VERY hard to catch in a picture! I agree this may be a soft strike but, IMO, nothing unusual for a New Orleans strike. Quote:

I think the soft strike will keep this from grading MS-65. I'd say MS 64. I'd look for a better one as well.

I think it graded MS-65. I have a feeling the luster is probably much better than what it looks like in the picture and would probably help make up for the slightly weak strike.

It's about as close as you can get to MS65 (without being resubmitted);  |

Wow, I still think it's MS65, but you are correct MS64+ is as close as it gets to actually getting a 65 grade.

I was also going to say MS-64 but it is a close call. MS 64+ is a good grade for this coin.

I think they downgraded it slightly - 65 to 64+ - for the relatively weak strike. New Orleans was still doing pretty well with strikes at this point.
