I really liked this one and think I needed 1A2 . This coin is raw and unattributed and I really like the toning though after I looked closer I see rim marks on the reverse between 9-10 oclock which hopefully wont be a issue grading it.
Just curious your thoughts from these pics.

Nice coin. Tough for me to make a decision on the obverse, but it looks like MS64 overall.

the strike on this 88(O) is a tad better than you would normally see. the obverse fingerprints are going to hurt the value of this one as they really stand out due to the toning. its pretty much impossible to determine if the luster is broken on the obverse. the little rim issue reverse will not detail the coin. I think overall the coin would grade at MS64 but value wise due to the fingerprints I would say MS63 $$

I'm at MS63 with a shot at 64. Not sure how the graders would treat the rim damage however. It's a good candidate for Messydesk's bulk sub to find out...

I'll say 63, but 64 would not surprise.

So here is the rim area in question.
I dont know it has me scratching my head if it would detail the coin or not.
Otherwise the reverse is stunning and obverse is nicer than I thought to

Coming back to this one, I'd say a conservative MS63, good chance of MS64. Straight grade.
