Slight chance it made AU-50 but I will also go with XF-45

I agree with both, EF-45, possibly an AU-50. Great toning, I love the crescent rainbows! |

Well from the reverse alone I'd have definitely said MS, I can't tell from the pics if its just weak strike or if there's signs of wear, the toning makes it more difficult. Is that just glare in the photos around the date? It could just be a really weak strike I guess, it just appears weaker/less detail than other 1904 o's I've seen. I mean it looks really weak, like what I would expect from an EF-AU.. But then again toners give me issues and I'm still not the best at grading...
I guess it could be MS-63/64, like I said the reverse is great, I guess it might lead me to believe MS due to no hints of circulation.. It's just the obverse is hard for me to determin due to the pics/toning/glare maybe.. Again, toners always give me issues.. Lol.

I think it's a slightly above average strike for '04-O and NGC called it MS63.

It looks like the obverse toning is hidding the real beauty of the coin although the obverse pics are not the best although the toning on the reverse looks stunning!! I'd guess ms-64 possibly 65 because it looks like it has no real hits on it just toning that covers the surface. Better pic of the obverse would be great though

Not sure if it's a weak strike or wear on the obverse, I'll call it AU58 (or MS64).

Not bad for a WAG, eh.  Oh, that last picture of the slab really shows off the the colors. Nice toner! |

love the crescent rainbow on the reverse. The obverse on this one is tough to figure out...

I had a feeling we were looking at a MS with a slight soft strike and beautiful toning. The reverse is 100% MS but because of the toning I wasn't completely sure about the obverse. The luster on both the obverse and reverse suggested MS and I was going to take a wild guess of MS-63 before I saw that it was already revealed. Pretty coin! |
