Opinions on grade and toning are welcome. I also have a question for toner lovers; which toner would you rather have this one, or the 1900 I posted earlier?( https://goccf.com/t/159276)

That is a coin with a lot of character...just beauitful. I'll give it AU-58.

I'm going to go with this one for better eye appeal, because it has a lighter colour. IMHO the other one is a tad too dark.

AU55 or MS62 for the same reason I listed on the 1900.

With that toning the obverse wear shows up quite nicely. I'd say AU-50 or -53. But IMO with the lack of eye appeal (I don't like that toning) you might have trouble getting AU-50 money for it.

I'm surprised at all the AU guesses. I can understand what is being said about the toning showing wear, but I don't think NGC agreed with this.

I'm not sure if that is wear on the hair or the toning. I can't really guess on this one, but I will be interested to see the results...

I thank you all are crazy. I think this is an easy MS coin from what I can see in these pictures, It is an absolute beauty in my opinion.
My official guess is MS64 might be a 65, with a star designation for eye appeal.

I'd say MS-63, possibly * or even a 64. Very nice toner! I'd say there'll be no problem getting a slight premuim for the toning...

I would say MS63. Might even be 64 if held in hand. I have found most people are at least 2-3 grades low looking at photos.

I agree that it's probably a MS coin, but the images show an AU coin. Whomever is imaging them is using very poor technique.

I'm with silvernewbie79 possible MS65 on this one. More likely a MS64*
