MS66 at least----lovely fields--- count for 50% of grading points.

This is not the first '36 with good lustre, that I have seen with an obviously weak strike; it is weak on both sides with design detail. Reasonably clean from nicks and scratches.
Strictly on condition alone,
MS63.
This coin gives obvious but silent witness of it's manufacturing process: it was rimmed first to convert it from a blank into a planchet, then struck very slightly off centre. This is evidenced by the fact that rim has been struck with denticle detail.

It might actually be a 64, lets see.  |

At the very least MS64 but more likely a MS65. Obverse dose have a weak strike. I'd be very surprised if it's not a MS65.

I dislike grading from photos but I will play. How about ms65 or ms66. I'm leaning towards ms66

The fields look very clean....could be a MS64-65, but as echoed, I would like to see in person to be sure

I have just started "learning" how to grade coins within the past week. Before I looked at any of the comments I came up with AU-55, looks like I'm quite a bit lower than everyone else though haha. I guess I will keep practicing.

I am going with MS-64, in my opinion, given the weak strike may have influenced the grade. Should not but it does happen. Actual grade must be quite a bit lower if you are disappointed.

as long as whats in the photos is whats on the coin and I would say by ICCS standards a strong 65.

Thanks to all who replied. Some of you were bang on. For some reason, weak strikes seem to be common on the 36's I have but on the 35's, they all have nice full strikes. sel-691, you are right, the obverse has been struck off centre.  Edited by JimmyD

Generally the weaker 35 strikes are weak on the reverse. Most visible on the rail of the Canoe.
