mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 06:55 am Since pictures can be at times deceiving, I'll estimate the grade at MS-65 red. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 08:52 am I'll say MS-64RD. Fields are nice, but the bust has a number of marks. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 09:17 am . The scuffing on the portrait may hold it to MS-64RD. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 09:53 am Because of all the contact marks on the obverse I figure at best it's AU-53. Report this Post to the Staff

grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 11:31 am Quote: I'm going with MS-63RD .Too much chaffing and a couple of hits. First, I wanted to see if I could quote you correctly (LOL) I know I asked you guys to grade, the chaffing is just the camera not picking up the shine of the coin. Second the two hits seen are with a 50pwr scope. I will give completely ever trying to grade if two very,very very minor hits under a 10pwr loupe drops the grade to a 65 or below. The only thing I am worried about is possibly the strike is weak? PCGS website says a 67 can have up to 4 minor hits with no hair lines or scuff marks[javascript:insertsmilie('')\|\|()]. Make those hits are 50 times smaller than they appear. I still want you guys to help me, I need it. This coin is better than a 66 and I will find out in a few months or post either way. Of course, I want 67's but I was 11 out of the last 12 at 66, the other one 65. so I am improving. Last thing I totally agree pictures are deceiving but not necessarily always in a bad way. I have fixed my email problem and am willing to let one of you examine the coin personally. I will pay shipping both ways. this way when I post a picture it's the real deal (or I hope so) all of this sent with gentle effect Report this Post to the Staff

MS-64 I should have taken picture from different angle. The coin is so shiny the camera did this to it Report this Post to the Staff
grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 5:29 pm After more review I put the coin back in the roll and moved on. I didn't think it was as bad as it appeared on first picture. Having bought enough ms-64's This one is better than that a 65 I believe Report this Post to the Staff
