Picked this one up raw for 115 bucks...possibly the best deal I've grabbed off ebay in some time...the pics were quite horrible.
Quite amazed at this one, and love the strike and luster. Other than the hit out from the chin it is pretty near flawless.

I definitely do not grade these yet so don't take what I have to say as fact but I see a really nice coin here. Only a couple marks on the obverse. Very good strike. I would expect ms63/64. Maybe better. One thing tho that I have seen Badthad say is that the color seems really dark.

I think it is an easy 65bn in hand, luster could push it higher along with the above average strike which tends to be really good for the date anyways.

I'll go ahead and guess that they'll give it a 65+bn, the hit right of the chin may be just enough to keep it out of a 66bn holder.

very pleasing coin to look at. nicely struck up with fairly even color. looks like a little discoloration in front of the profile but other than that, this one is a total keeper.

MS65BN maybe a plus.

even at MS63 you stole this one. I dont slab my coins but this one should be graded. it would drive me crazy not to know what the TPG says

With the luster on thisnone I expected higher than a 64bn, guess they didn't like the hit in right obv field. I subbed 2, this one I thought was far nicer and both graded 64bn.
