I'll go with a technical grade of MS64 ... but would be remiss to not mention the strike weakness that IMHO prevents this from being a great coin.

The muddy stars and hair detail on the obverse tell the strike story ... best I can see from the photo only 3-4 stars show full pedal detail ... and the hair above Ms Liberty eye is weak.

Same for the reverse ... I do not see the mentioned details in the left corn cob ...

All in all a lovely MS coin with soft strike details.

That was my comment, and looking at it again, I think you are correct. I am not sure what I thought I saw...

But I agree and think it is a nice coin.

EDIT: I tried to update my earlier comments but was unable to, if any MODS feel like editing them, have at 'er.
