If the typical opinion of MS64 is right, then $32 is a 'steal'!

Nice , still holding my grade of 64+ . Wish the coin had some original luster .  |

I'm glad you posted your own pics. The coin is nicer than the seller's photos indicated.
Based on the seller's photos, I was on the fence between MS-63 and MS-64, but leaning toward MS-64. With your photos, I'm solid on MS-64.
The soft strike and previously noted bag marks cap the grade here.
You did very, very well at $32. It's a nice looking, collectible example. Thanks for sharing it with us!

A bit lacking in luster, but still a solid 64.

It's weird, and I think I need to change my setup because when I photograph coins head on, they look a little dull and lifeless. At an angle, the luster lights up. This is the coin at a slight angle which shows full luster.  Edited by numismatic student

Great looking coin! Interesting rim. Dont have much experience but looks slightly off-centre? MS64 with the rest. Superb detail even as a soft strike!

@ns it may be struck out of collar. Notice how the weakness is mirriored

looks to me like the right obverse rim is weakly struck. don't know enough about coins struck out of collar to know what you are referring to. would you elaborate? thanks!

You need a light and a coffee filter (serious!!).

@ns the top right obverse rim, and bottom left are struck with the same weakness. I think the collar that holds the coin in place may have deployed late striking it a hair off center.

I think GrapeCollects is correct about the collar being slightly off . BTW I know you took that slant photo to show some luster on the coin but please reframe from doing it again . Your straight head on photos look 100 times better .  |

You should be able to get the luster to show by shooting it straight on, but moving the light source to different angles.
