64 and very pretty. most disturbances look like small frost breaks rather than bag marks. nice luster. looks pressed by fresh early state dies.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I will agree it is overgraded, due to insufficient luster. I have the coin for two reasons. 1 I like it. 2 If the websites I frequent are an indication of the price of toned GSA's are commanding, I hope to sell it for more than what I paid for it. More opinions are welcomed. AG

How did you photograph it? I know the GSA coins are in a sealed slab because I have an 1882CC, 84CC and 85CC in the box. Since I am a poor photo guy I wonder how you get good photo of a slabbed coin. I would never break out a slabbed GSA coin considering it a big NO, No, but am I wrong?

I'm unsurprised by the grade.
Look at the dark marks on the cheek, and then look at the highest part of the breast feather details, being darker than the surrounding area. They are both the same color for the exact same reasons - frost breaks - and in-hand you wouldn't notice either.
