strike is soft which is normal for this year but based on these photos I think she's been over dipped. UNC details (Cleaned). remove from holder for a more accurate assessment

Photos are too blurry for me to make a grade, but I would guess this coin would grad AU58.

I think you guys are right. Better pics, outside the holder, are needed.

The surface luster is a concern. Maybe a few more photos with better lighting.

The new photos help. The surfaces look fairly clean. I don't see anything from contact marks that would hold this back from MS-64. The strike is pretty soft. I can't tell from the photos if there is disruption of the luster at the high points. You have the coin in hand,and can better assess that factor. The luster seems a bit dull to me, too. That could well be the lighting or the slab.
I'm cautiously in the MS-64 camp here, assuming that the luster is unbroken.

New pics don't help for me, no grade.

Thanks for all the replies. PCGS graded it MS63, but I really feel it's better than that. I may just crack it out of the case which is badly scratched and the blurring over the eagles breast is just plain annoying. Unless these old style holders are worth any more? If I bust it out I'll post photos.  |

It most likely got a lower grade due to the dull luster. When I first looked at it, it appeared cleaned to me. Typical dull bright look that cleaning with baking soda and water produces.

Glad you paroled it from its filmy plastic prison. Seeing the new pics, this is a rock solid MS-64/64+. The rim dings hold it back from MS-65. EDIT: VAM this one. It has some great clash marks. Edited by fortcollins

That slab was not helping anything! I would also say undergraded. MS64-64+ as well

It's a 63 because of the marks, the staining and the subdued luster. I think the TPG got it right. |
