I snatched up this beauty for $5.00 the other day and I'm curious what grade you guys would give it. Whoever had it originally gave it a grade of MS 65 but personally I think it could do better. I appreciate everyone's input! Edit: Ignore the white flecks on the obverse of the coin it's just bits of cardboard from the holder I'm sorry guys I'm not that good at taking pictures I posted two new pictures outside the flip. The white flecks came right off     Edited by Buckwill311

John1 could you explain? Because I'm new to this and not very good at it. Could you walk me through your process? I turned the pictures around for you:)
Thanks

The good news is it definitely appears to be uncirculated and it shows no sign of cleaning or dipping.
The bad news is the photos are too blurry to give you a grade.
Try cutting out all background and leave only the coin in the photos. That might help.

Some evidence of flecking might hold this to 65.

There appears to be several hits on the obverse, so I would say MS-64RD at most. As a friendly reminder, try to crop the images so that they only extend to the edges of the coin  |

There was a price of $58.00 on the 2x2 and you got it for $5..nice going.  Looks like it is a MS-64 to me. |
