I don't remember if I have posted this one, it's one of my older coins. Straight grade, PCGS slabbed it. The luster is bright in-hand, despite the photos. Your thoughts? (Smudge on the back is old sticker residue)   I bought a new Canon DSLR that should be here on the 31st so I'll try to get better pictures, because the luster looks flatter than I'd like in these.

 MS-63 RD. Surfaces look much better for the grade, but the carbon spots hold it back. |

MS-63 RB. If the holder says Red, then the coin toned inside; there is definite brown on the obverse. I have a feeling those spots will get worse over time, so it may be worth cracking it out and halt the process.

MS-63 RB.
The spots on the feather and the wreath hold it back IMO.

I'll say 64RB. Looks just a tad short of RD.

I was on the fence about red vs. red-brown. I think TC might be right in that it toned a bit since being slabbed. And although he's probably also right about breaking it out to prevent the carbon spots and toning from getting worse, the problem is that it might now grade as MS-63 RB.
