Hi everybody! Another coin from my 7070. I'd appreciate any thoughts on a grade.

So very close to mint state. Slightest circulation rub at centers both obverse and reverse with miniscule luster breaks. Beautiful AU-58.

I think it's mint state - MS63 - limited by a few hits on the obverse.
Rest in Peace

After reviewing this lusterous beauty, I'm going with MS-63- Slightly weak at centers. IMHO . I don't see any finger prints on this coin, if it was circulated there would be prints on the highly pristine surfaces . I can be wrong ; but I feel I need to go with this .

I've got to agree with Mox, the contrast is cranked up on the photo but the rub on the high points is still visible. This one is a slider, very close to MS but just not there. AU-58

You can actually see a little bit of 'rub' on the breat of the eagle, AU-58

I see a 62 on this one. I've seen coins with slight wear like so get UNC grades.

MS63, but struck from worn dies: look at the heavy flow lines and the die polishing lines on the obverse; I do not see wear on the high points.

Thanks everybody! I've definitely noticed the central wear on the obverse but the rub on the breast is new to me. Borderline AU/MS makes a lot of sense, although I'd hope that the luster would carry it to low MS if I ever submit it to a TPG.
