It has a lot of dark toning on the obverse, but in hand it has a ton of magenta/redish toning and is really capturing. The reverse is getting some nice color around the rim too. It also has a lot of luster that still comes through, and cartwheels quite nicely under the toning. I know it isn't everyone's cup of milk, but I sure like this kind of toning. Anyone want to try and take a stab at the grade? Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/11/2013 03:45 am might be a MS64 the cheek looks pretty clean, but with a darkly toned dollar such as this one must have it in hand under a strong source of light to see the cartwheel. I can tell there is one under the toning from the photo, but I can't see any hidden scuffs or dings. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

ClubMedka Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 12/11/2013 11:08 pm It definitely has a cartwheel to it, which comes through the dark toning pretty well. There is a small cheek mark at the lower jawline, right where the front of the neck line would go through if it kept going up. It is hard to see. I think due to that hit it might stay at 63. But I think it could go 64 on a good day! I appreciate the input from everyone Report this Post to the Staff
