Saw that nice one too. Looks to be at least AU, and could be UNC. Post a better photo when you get it.

I will, I was also thinking at least AU the pictures were a bit to far away to determine.

The fields on the obverse are really clean--I hope it looks as nice in person.

That's one of the reasons I really liked this coin DV, that and the details shown in the beard and the hair.

Compared to these MS-65's that are currently on ebay, the coin I just bought has a very nice heavy strike. (I am not saying the coin I bought is this grade, just comparing the strike)

I could not take my eyes off that green shaggy background... looks like someone was photographing coins with Oscar the Grouch!

I think it's either an AU-58 or an MS-64

As requested, here are the pictures of the coin.

The colour is not the same as the ebay picture.

Nice coin! A little bit of wear visible on the obverse. Should go AU-50 max.

I think your photos showing the nice dark brown are nicer. The ebay pictures were a funny brown. I think XF-45 is fair.
