I'll say MS-63. Not particularly a fan.

@Slider23, @dave700x Looks like stage 2, partly broken "R" in TRUST? Here's the shopping list based on the stage of the broken "R." If I'm right on the "R" stage, that would narrow it to some of the most common VAMS for the date (9, 35, 39, 42), and one rather scarce VAM duo (77 and 77A). I can't take it any further based on the current pics, but it may get the hunt on the right road. EDIT: @dave700x got on the road first! Edited by fortcollins

I think AU-58. The eagles breast and the hair details make me think that.

These have really increased in value, especially their Mint State ones, which may be a clue you gave as to the grade, I think MS62 I see luster of a MS64 but too many marks and and other little ticks, hits, scuffs to go any higher than a MS63 I don't know if they would give out a MS63 with the cheek so marked. Might be a good time to sell this one, I think you might be able to buy it back in a year or two for a lot less or an even better one for less as well.

strike is on point for the year. luster actually looks across the surfaces. reverse surface preservation is very good with just a couple scuffs. the obverse doesn't fair as good with the railroad hit on the cheek in a key area and multiple abrasions across the surfaces. I think its still in the MS63 box as I cant see anything that stands out to make me think this coin was circulated

NGC graded the coin: MS63 Thanks for the replies and help with the VAM. When I look at the coin in hand, MS63 is an accurate grade. |
