If I could get a brown designation it may grade up there. What do you guys think?

One is on the way to you as we speak, went out in mail after lunch. One will be on way to PCGS shortly Hopefully you are correct with the red designation. I think the coin in the picture is real good. the coin is virtually mark free. I will try again to get a picture.

more pics. I don't it's as brown as pics nor red as pics when coin is in hand. Badthad do you think it would get red/brown designation and worth a try? S in states is weak along with E underneath it.

i am so confused with your photos. particularly the color. based on your photos it could be BN, RB or RD

in any case I have it at MS64. you judge the color. too many stains, rim marks, fine scratches, weak reverse to go any higher imo

Sorry not trying to confuse anyone. The pictures I post are usually from my coin microscope. A few members would like to see the actual color of the coin. The second set of pictures are from my camera Both types of pictures are limiting. I guess more than anything are limiting. I guess I am asking about the number of marks and placement of marks? Thanks for always helping. You see to many distractions? Is the coin just unappealing to you? or the color variations distract you?
