64 RB. I wouldn't, but I limit my NGC submissions to expected $200 real retail or better.

You decide your own cutoff for practical purposes.

Better pics might show otherwise, but I'd say AU-58.

You seeing the lower ribbon line to east as the rub, Frog?

I was thinking that was a slightly light strike.

That's part of it - can't see the shield well enough to see what the reverse looks like in that area. Cheek also shows possible signs of circulation or mishandling. Not fond of grading angled pics, and I'd like to see a straight-on shot of that discolored area at 9:00 on obverse - that's not toning. From these pics alone the coin just doesn't have a good feel. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to apologize.

Better pics, please. It's difficult to grade from these pics.

Better photos would help a lot. Still hoping for MS, but I'm obviously in the minority on that opinion.

it could be the lighting but the coin doesn't seem to have full luster. below is a coin that I bought raw from a CCF member and has full mint luster. Submnitted it to PCGS and came back ms64rb. I would expect a coin with full luster to look more like this. Was thinking au55-58 for the coin in this thread.

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."
