Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 7:13 pm Pics are washed-out and flat, with no suggestion of luster. Can you try showing the coin with different lighting? Edited by Coinfrog 05/31/2021 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6388 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 8:55 pm IF it has appropriate original luster the minor bag marks would indicate a top potential grade of MS-64 and a retail value of about $100. If luster is impaired from circulation it should grade AU-58 with a value of maybe $50. If it's a details coin due to over-dipping or cleaning the value drops lower. It all depends on the luster quality which can't be evaluated well from these images. Report this Post to the Staff

shieldm1 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 9:35 pm Thanks for the advice! Uploaded a couple more hoping to capture the luster. The reverse pic shows the true luster, I can go back and photograph the obverse tomorrow to show its true luster better than what I have posted. Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11896 Posts	Posted 05/31/2021 9:38 pm It is a very nice coin. I can see it has beautiful luster on both sides. Just a little chatter on obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 02:15 am Nice reverse, but a lot of chatter in that cheek. MS61 for me Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18673 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 08:29 am the 85(P) are known for average strikes. I put this one in that box so no deductions or adds for strike. the glare from lighting makes it more of a challenge to assess the luster and surface preservation. looks like the luster is intact. obviously the obverse hits and chatter on the profile is not going to help since its all in the key area and affects eye appeal. i'd put the obverse in the MS62+ area and the reverse MS64+. net MS63 as the obverse always gets the nod with split grades Report this Post to the Staff
GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1527 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 10:56 am I'll say MS-62 due to the cheek and field in front of Liberty Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 11:31 am I'll say MS-62, shot at 63, not really a fan of this one. Report this Post to the Staff
