I didn't get a lot of guesses on the last one I posted but will try another date. I will post the slab Wednesday afternoon. When I see this coin blown up like this I understand why I buy almost every VF/EF/AU one I can find at my LCS's. I also know why I started collecting ASE's. Until I saw an ASE, I had no idea what an actual full strike looked like. Thanks for guessing.   |

I'm terrible at this, but I'll go with MS65.  |

I'll go for a MS66 (I was thinking MS64 at lowest and MS65) but I have a feeling that is a MS66 and thats what I'll stay with.

I am going to guess this one got a MS-67. A beauty! |

That is an impressive strike! Good luster too. Normally the slight spotting in the 12 to 3 quarter would keep me from giving this a 66. But I think the strike overcomes it. Full head, full thumb and sharp, sharp skirt lines. The reverse is still a tad weak, but....wow!

This is a very nice coin, with a sharp strike both sides. Brow over Eagle's eye and breast feathers show up well, rims perfect. Two small dings above 'US' in 'PLURIBUS'.
Has a few tiny blemishes, but they are hard to find, and would not show up 'in hand'.
It is this sort of coin that makes you wanna collect LWH's.
Superb.
MS67.
The highest I have ever graded a coin here, in the CCF.

dave700x, I was new to this photo thing when I named it. Now I know not to do that. If I do another it won't be as easy. Thanks for being nice about it.

Two small dings above 'US' in 'PLURIBUS' I agree. Outside of those two dings, the obv is almost perfect. I didn't even see those dings until I took the photo. Quote:
