Grade estimates before I would buy this coin please?   |

It is hard to tell from the photos as I only see a few bag marks on the cheek and fields. I would grade the coin at MS65. I am sure with the attractive toning the coin is going to command a premium price, but I do not know enough about toning to call it natural.

I frankly cannot tell if the surfaces on this coin are natural.  They're unusual, for sure. Edited by Coinfrog

Tough call from the images, but it does appear to be uncirculated.

Not sure about the exact grade on this one but I like the toning.

Definitely uncirculated I too am questioning the colored toning

The toning looks artificial to me. Similarly toned on both sides and blotchy. The colors appear to lie on top of the surfaces.
I'd pass.

Judging based purely on these photos which show NO luster; MS details.
I am guessing it is a 64 or thereabouts though.

Technical details appear to offer a fair shot at 65. The white balance is way off - note how bluish the background is - so the color you're being shown for the toning is inaccurate. My gut is needling me to believe it original from the way it lays on the coin, but these images aren't up to firm decisions.

Toning looks reasonable - nothing screams AT. I will say MS-64.

My first thought was that it's been in a metal necklace bezel for a long time but never or early worn. I've seen splotchy toning exactly like the left side reverse before from such morgans.
What is that above both A's in America?

Fuzzies, from the looks of it.  |

My concern with the coin is the reverse toning. It appears that the original skin of the coin on the reverse is the rust color toning on and around the rim of the coin. The pastel colors appear to be an overlay onto the original toning as there are spots of bluish on the rust color toning. I do not know if the pastel overlay is natural or artificial, but I agree with NoD, and I would pass on the coin as there will be others available.
