I have a coin I came across recently to add to the collection.

Wanted to see what everyone thought in terms of grade. Opinion is much appreciated.

Coin has almost no scratches, inside 2x2.

Thanks...

A bit too much light flare from the mint luster for me to grade accurately.

Excellent looking coin; a preliminary guess at MS62.

Relatively easy to find these 100 year old silver coins in uncirculated grades.

Its a wonderful coin, congratulations on this acquisition.

Nevertheless, as sel_69l already said, these coins are not that scarce in such a beautiful condition. This is because silver coins were hoarded in WW1.
Rest in Peace

Those photos are tough to judge. Certainly MS, but difficult to grade more accurately.

Looks like quite a nice piece, as mentioned before these often hoarded, I would guess piece would grade around MS65

Thanks for opinion on grade veryone. Yes I was pleasantly surprised when I purchased. I only saw one or two very minor scratch marks. I was going to guess myself ms63-65.
