Hey all, I'm going out on a limb here with this beauty.. In hand I would have to call it MS 65 Red Brown...There's approx 80% Red maybe more not really sure how to be exact.. I have other pics in different light , just hard to capture all the luster and stuff

Anyhow worst case I'm hoping would be 64 R&B ..Want to be as close as I can ...I have it listed and I might correct it if I'm to far off....

Looks like it may have been lacquered in the past with the shiny surfaces. It was a common thing to do 60+ years ago to keep red coins from toning. Nice looking coin.

Well I don't think ICCS would ever give a MS65 RB... and MS64 RB's are rare. So With that said I think MS65 is out of the question. Nice looking coin tho.

Nice strike!
What's going on there above George's shoulder? Looks like the kiss of death price-wise.
MS63RB, cleaned.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
