I guess it could be AU58 ... but ... I think MS62

Clearly a weak strike, with reverse luster that points toward low MS. But scuffing all over the obverse, especially in the forelock area, leaves me cold on this fairly common date. Pass.  |

I like the brutal honesty, Coinfrog. I'd say it was common date to be had if it wasn't a san fran mark....however in the lower grades I'd definitely still go with common.

I like it. Nice cameo-ish obverse. I say MS62.

Sure, it's fine for a lower-grade set, but that just doesn't sound like you @doc!

Many of the obverse lines in the field are die polishing marks. I don't see evidence of circulation here. The reverse definitely doesn't show it. I suspect this coin is UNC, with obverse bag marking heavier than the reverse, and with some cabinet rub. It has eye appeal, with the obverse light cameo and the nice reverse fields.
IMHO, NGC would call the obverse MS-63 and the reverse MS-64, for a net MS-63.

some weakness in strike on both sides. luster looks pretty good overall but there looks likes a few breaks on both sides. my first thought was that there was a light cleaning but I'm agreeing with FC on that. I've seen coins with that eye appeal slabbed at 65. I dont think this one is there. I'm at MS63 possibly 64

Another good one to guess the grade on.
MS63 - though a MS62 was also a consideration for me. I believe too many marks to go MS64 and I don't see any rub or wear areas so I don't think it falls in the AU category.

Good luster, tiny contact marks mostly on the obverse, some very faint field hairlines which help limit the grade but don't rise to the level of a cleaning.
Might have been strictly graded at AU-58 but NGC MS-63 seems more likely.

Must have been graded on a Friday morning to get a 61!
Still a nice coin!

they dinged it pretty hard for weak reverse strike, eye appeal and the obverse scratches and amount of luster remaining

Thinking MS-62. Definitely has some marks but I'd chock it up to bag marks with a weaker strike.
