skylight585 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 10/25/2013 12:27 am Just came back from anacs with a stunning ms65 grade! I have been doing a lot of research and am finding that this coin is very scarce, I saw one that sold at heritage ms65, other than that one I am left in the dark..i looked it up on ngc price guide but it only goes up to ms63 grade....this having such a gorgeous tone really has me curious do you all agree with the grade that was given? Would anybody advise doing a crossover to ngc or pcgs? I mainly buy classic american coins, world coins are a very unfamiliar territory for me.lots to learn! Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 10/25/2013 02:34 am I disagree with the MS65 grade. Perhaps MS64. I would be too harsh to say MS63, but it would be closer to 63 than 65. There are dings in the field behind the neck. Seems to be reasonably un marked elsewhere, however. Not quite the sharpest of strikes. No wear in the beard or moustache, but I have seen sharper detail. I can't see any hairlines, but they can be hard to find beneath toning, when grading from a picture. I will assume that this coin has no hairlines. Very nice residual lustre beneath the toning. Report this Post to the Staff
