Probably not worth enough $$ to justify sending it to PCGS, but I thought a consensus here would be helpful. George's eyebrows always throw me off.

Lots of "original mint bloom" with light gold and steel toning toward the rims. Note also the unfortunate shallow gash between His Majesty's eye and his sideburn. I've had it in a non-PVC flip, inside a steel box, since 1984 or thereabouts.

Thanks for any input!
Tom

I like the eye appeal for sure, and to my eyes it looks like a MS-64 if it doesn't have a trace of wear.

Nice full strike on the reverse which is hard to find on George VI half dollars.
Too bad about the ding beside his eye but still a nice coin. MS64
Not really worth the cost of getting certified unless you just want it in a slab.

Looks like a clear consensus for MS-63.5.
Thank you all for coming to my aid on this one!
Tom
