Nice luster but lots of chatter. Strong MS63 in my opinion.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts on this coin. When in hand, will attempt to provide fresh photos although my skills will probably be no better than these from the dealer. Thank you.

Sharply struck without obvious wear, but a lot of chatter everywhere. I'd say MS-62.

bold strike which if normal. I think a little too many marks/abrasion/scuffs to make 63

MS62

I see the luster disruptions mentioned by jacrispies but the overall look still seems mint state. I could see a TPG MS-62 grade. Eye appeal is pretty nice.

I put it down as MS62 with a low possibility of MS63.

Technically AU-58 since it is showing some signs of wear but in today's grading market I think she'd make MS-62.

AU-58. It's a tossup on eye appeal, balancing the contact marks with SPL surfaces. Solid strike.

No real evidence of wear to me .. unless you are considering some of the chatter and contact marks as wear. I think all those marks keep it at MS-62.
