I am at MS-63. I think the cheek and the fields have a little too much chatter for a higher grade.

Well I bought it for $47.50. Hope I didn't overpay. We'll see what it looks like in hand. I will try to put up some new pics when I get it.

That's an excellent price, no matter what the grade.

Oh wow, the luster looks much better, it's looked like a dull coin before. I would revise my response to MS-63 (With possibly MS-64).

Well I ended up getting a PCGS membership so I could send in some of my March of Dimes proof and reverse proof Roosevelt's. Well as a by-product for their membership you get 4 free grading vouchers. So I decided to send this in and here it is...........I am a little disappointed to say the least

Hey...dont be disappointed. A lot of people thought it was AU from the first pics you posted. I held off judgement because I thought the coin was probably better than AU. Turned out it was a lot better than AU.

Glad you got a 61 out of it! Enjoy it.

PCGS sure didn't do you any favors on that one. With very subdued luster I could see it going 62 but 61? Well let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say they went conservative. :(

I don't see anything that warrants an MS-61. I'm still sticking with MS-64.
