That style of TrueView really isn't conducive to MS grading. MS grading is hard enough from pictures as the quality of luster plays a big role which we can't see. It's pretty though so probably somewhere in the 63-65 range.

I'd have to say 66 or even better.

I tend to agree with you on this one Panzaldi. I think that this was a Friday grade.

MS64 gets my vote, the toning is icing on a very expensive and delicious cake. If it is a 64 it would easily be #1 CC and probably a low-mid six figure coin...

I would have said 65 but for her throat being "cut" by a light hit that knocks it down to a 64 IMO.

That would be virtually unnoticeable in hand. The fields are immaculate, aside from the stunning eye appeal.

Stunning coin - absolutely spectacular eye appeal.

I'm going with MS65 ... and a worthy grade for such a fabulous coin.

MS-64 and the finest known too. I'd say, worth a lot - like $275K to $315K

That's a heck of a coin.

My first thought was 65. Without seeing the true luster/color it's a tough call.

For those who are grading at MS64 please expand on your grade as to what you see to remove points. I will not be available later today so grade will be posted tomorrow

If it is truly MS, I don't know how it goes below MS66...unless the TrueView and Toning are hiding something.
