Fields in these pics are too dark to see surfaces clearly.

Nice looking coin! I'd jump on it if the price was right.

As this really isn't a test your grading skills, more of an advice thing, it's an MS 63 price is $94 I was hunting a possible recon item.

Sell price seems slightly high,so you have to ask yourself what are the chances it would get an upgrade to 65 or above..only with coin in hand could that be answered (I think).Can you make an offer?.....Good luck

Finding coins that will upgrade is a tough game to play, especially when you're relying on photos. A good photographer can easily hide flaws with careful lighting. It's highly unlikely that you'll find a coin that will go up 2 grades, and in this case your upside it limited if it only upgrades to 64.

You know, you can't see it in these pictures, I just screen captured these, but if you look closely at the ones on ebay, if you zoom all the way in there are clear square area patches in the fields that looks like photo shop patching.

I think I'm going to pass.

Thanks for getting me to think and look a little harder.

C'mon. These dark pics show almost nothing of value for grading.

Agree with Frog. GrapeCollects, the fields are way too dark to grade. Based on the pics I'd give it a 66 as well.
