Here's one I sent off to Anacs last year. I should have taken pictures before I had it slabbed. Hopefully the pics through the slabs are good enough to get some decent grading guesses.   |

Hard to tell from the photos. Can you get some shots on an angle so we can see the surfaces? Shadow hides left side. Looks to be a razor sharp strike on that coin.

I think MS63 but the photos are hard to grade from.

 MS63 seems likely to me... |

there seems to be slight wear on the hair so though it looks MS, IMHO I think it would grade AU-58(SLIDER)....ENJOY!

I am leaning to a MS-63 as well but the pictures are hard to grade from.

I'll try to get better photos but can't promise anything because my skills are marginal.

Looks to be an AU, but could be MS with photo glare.

I'm not having any luck getting better photos. I've got several coins put back that I haven't posted threads about. I plan to sell some of those so I will be trying to figure out how to get some decent quality pics. When I figure those out I'll try again with this one & will post the results with an updated title. Sorry to leave ya'll hanging.

The reverse looks stellar but I think I see some flatness on the high points of the hair
so I'm in the AU crowd - 58

I'm with the MS crowd, nice coin regardless, and I wouldn't mind owning it!

The new ANACS tends to be very conservative, perhaps overly so, so I will go with AU-58.
I would grade it as MS-62 based on the photos. I'd go 63 if the strike were a bit more solid and it had more luster. Very mark free coin.

I think I am with the MS crowd - all I can say is I am green with envy! I am down the difficult dates for my 3 cent nickels (80, 82-87) and wish I could afford one that beautiful!
