Grades are all over the place. I'll go with MS64.

I'm seeing hardly any wear, looks to be a weak strike on the obverse at least, seems a little flat. But I'm going MS65 on this, 64s have more contact marks. *gets popcorn out*.

EDIT: I'm going MS64+ as there are a few small rim dings.

I agree with AU-58. May be MS but I cannot tell with these images.

What's wrong with the images? To me they look very crisp, if I do say so myself, and precisely like what I have in hand.

Sorry if I'm touchy, but it took me years to get my pics right.

I'll say MS-65 for this one. Very few contact marks and I'm going to assume the luster is all there in hand. Strike is pretty typical for New Orleans mint.

I'm hard pressed to say AU55, probably lower.

Nice snag and a bit undergraded I think. Toned coins don't get as much love from TPG's.

Sorry, I did not mean to offend. My statement does not accurately say what I was thinking. With the toning, I find coins like this one to be hard to grade without having them in hand so that I can rotate it. Even then grading is difficult.

I strive to take pictures like yours.

Again I'm late but I think 64 is ok, I think the coin got netted down a tick based on the toning since I see a technical 65. Reminds me of the sort of toning I see on Tidy House Morgans, a bit.

Based on original reverse pic, I'm dumbfounded.

I'm on a good track record lately. It's good to compare to existing coins using heritage auction photos as they are very high quality images. I think they got this one right.

Coinfrog, you were close

my problem with the grade is the eye appeal not the best and missing luster across the cheek and a fingerprint under the S in PLURIBUS
