Well, i'll be the first to tell you that I'm working on my grading skills. And by no means good at all :) =)
Well..laugh if you want but i'd say MS63 RD. Hard to tell if the cheek and forehead are rubbed, or just the picture...guessing just the pic. Now I'm nervous lol!

Thad,
I will call this one MS-64 RB. I see one nice hit under America and the fingerprint. This coin may look better in person but these photos show RB to me. Very nice one!
Thanks,
Jim

AU-58-MS 61 slider ,, the bright spots on the cheek,chin,forehead and ear lead me to believe that the coin may have seen some slight circulation or at the very least some album rub and with the hits on the cheek and jacket and the unfortunate fingerprint it all blends together for a not so high grade .
Its still a very attractive coin and I'm sure the fingerprint does not show up as well in hand as it does in the picture .
again this is from pics ,,if you want to post an editorial on the things I see thats cool and my opinion may change slightly to full MS but it would still be in the choice grades.

I think I will keep my grade ,,but it might be that the photo actually lightened the fingerprint rather than exaggerating it . and I did miss the rim ding ,,even though in the grade I listed it would not have much affect . Thad I would like to see your collection in it entirety ,,I will bet it is a sight to behold ! Im impressed with the learning curve you have put yourself on ! You have done a Great job !  |

Thanks Metalman. I've learned a lot from you and the other fine folks on this forum in pretty short-order. Everyone's comments and advice is greatly appreciated. The one thing about the internet, it's easy to make good friends, but the distance between us all is a limiting factor. I'd like to be able to see everyone's collection in person!
