Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 05/05/2013 1:02 pm The pictures are a little too bright. From what I can tell there isn't too many marks on the cheek. Probably a MS-63 (From these pictures) Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 10:02 pm Looks like a MS-63 possibly 64. Hard for me to make out the number and severity of the marks on the cheek and fields. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/06/2013 10:21 pm Positive: Nice sharp strike, with decent lustre. Nice rims. Can't comment on the edge milling. Negative: Those nicks on both sides are rather obvious in these picture. My compliments in showing them up clearly. I can't see any wear. So, it has to be an MS grade of some sort. Those nicks hold it back. MS61 or 2. Somewhat of a pity, because this coin would be a real screamer, without those nicks. Report this Post to the Staff
