This one also calls the 7070 album home. Grade?

Very nice!

As with the others, I will defer to the experts for a grade.

Ok, I'll guess (but I am only an amateur since I hope to compete in the Olympics...oh wait, that was in the 80's):

MS-64

Beautiful coin. Obverse is pretty clean, the reverse has more scattered contact marks. One of the few US coins that's weighted towards the reverse for grading.

Solid MS-63. Might pass for a borderline 64.

The chest, arms and right leg of the Native American appear to have taken a number of hits that left noticeable dings. The wagon side appears to be cleaner.

The lighting, especially for the wagon side, is rather bright and could be hiding some issues that would impact the grade.

Overall, it looks to be a nice mint state coin: MS-63.

My favorite classic commemorative design.

Genuine with original surfaces based on the photos .. reverse image is difficult to gauge ... note the photographic 'doubling' of the date 1926.

I'm going lovely MS-something ... sorry for the washy reply but the reverse photo does not allow me to be more definitive.

I'd say lower end MS63. The marks on the chest and arms are a bit detracting, but just a bit. Has a fairly nice luster. Nice coin!
