Just won this one and these are seller pics. What is your guess on grade? Can't wait to get it in hand. Love the color, and old ANACS slabs.   I feel the price for the grade that ANACS says it is was fair, and I think in hand it is going to look amazing. If it wasn't in the slab it is in I would have probably passed on it though with these pictures. Thanks for looking and all feedback, will post my pictures once I get it. |

Looks like a MS66 coin to me, though not close to FS and maybe a MS65 coin in the older small holder.

I will go with MS-65 though 66 is not out of the question.

I got it today, and man it is gorgeous in hand. Most were close on grade. It is in a MS66 5 Steps holder. I agree with that, and from my pics you can see the steps well. The obverse pic is soft on focus, but I am to lazy to take another one. Also the pics of coin only are white balanced corrected, and the ones of full slab are not to try to show the color. The color is that strong in hand. The coin is majorly tilted in the holder, and that is why there is a shadow on the coin. I gave $30 for it shipped, which may be a bit too much, but I fell in love with the color as soon as I saw the photos.

Definitely a beautiful coin...congrats! And I don't mind paying "too much" when I like the eye appeal. A pretty coin is a pretty coin - the price guides don't mean crapola on coins like this IMO.
