I'll say MS-63, and it's a very nice coin. Photos are excellent for your first post!

GTG means "good to go" and "guess the grade."
"Guess the Grade" = when a coin is graded by a TPG and you want members to guess the grade.

From the pictures, hard to find any tiny nicks or scratches on this one.

I will stick my neck out and say
64.

I grade it at MS64 but am I seeing weakness in strike on obv highpoints, Or is that slight wear on arm. It might have obv rub
GTG post was edited after I realized I should take a guess. So I added the second line. That Oregon is good to go tho. Nice coin!

I tried to compare it to some PCGS MS67/68 examples on Coinfacts, and they all looked like that to me.

Good eye spruett001!


Thanks. I suppose it's because I have too many coins ruined by old and ugly fingerprints. That pattern stands out. This coin is not in any way ruined by that, though. If It would grade 63/64, it may be worth submitting, depending on your initial investment and grading fees.

Yes, I've seen many slabbed coins with fingerprints on them. Unless the fingerprints grew/appeared on the coins after they were slabbed.

From examples I have seen, this is a tendency of the series.

I don't mind saying I spent $170 on this. It might be worth getting it graded, but I love being able to hold coins! I generally keep examples like this in airtites. Maybe if/when I ever decide to part with it, it could be submitted. (yeah right)

Thank you so much for the opinions and feedback. Much appreciated.

To me, the obverse is lifeless and almost suggests a mishandled Unc coin. Is it just the pic? Id like to see a better angle.
