Thanks to all for any and all comments. I know the pics are not the greatest quality but my photo skills are getting a little better.

My first thought was...is this real? MS65 is my guess. I don't see any wear, a few dings on the reverse. I am assuming it hasn't been cleaned and has full luster, can't really tell in the photo.

Looks like something wrong w/ the rims at both 12:00 & 6:00? Can't see them in the cropped pictures provided. Can you re-take the pictures & re-post?

Wow, that is some strike. Most of the stars look fully struck, the corn on left (reverse) has decent detail. I do have a question about the rims and I am not sure if it is due to the lighting in the picture. On the obverse 5 o'clock, 12 noon and reverse 6 o'clock seem to have something going on with the rim. Is that there or is that a reflection in the picture?

Rim issues: low MS / No rim issues: mid MS.

Very nice coin!

It will be close to midnight before I get off work. I will post some shots of the rim. Any other close ups needed?

WOW that's crazy. I also thought it was fake at first. I'm thinking probably MS65-66.

MS63 I see a few ticks on the coin, might make a MS64, looks really well struck.
