Toning is distracting, and makes it hard for me to grade from on screen pictures.
Although no wear seems to be present, I would expect a range of grade opinions for this coin.

The coin seems to have a strong strike, excellent luster underneath the toning, and barely any contact marks. Although I'm not a huge fan of the toning, I'll still say that the coin was graded at MS-65+, with the possibility that it was assigned a PL designation. I think that I'll be higher than the consensus, but to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if PCGS assigned a grade higher than 65+ to the coin.

I would say MS-64 but I would not be surprised if PCGS said AU58.

Interesting die cracks. Not a fan of the obverse but PCGS probably graded it high. MS-64

The reverse is gorgeous...the front technical grade is up there also...I'm thinking MS, but the toning from the pics doesn't convey nice eye appeal.

No sense in just guessing, so I'll sit this one out.

Grading from these TrueViews are great fun.

MS-66+

if there are invisible lines, then MS-64.

I've seen this coin before, but I don't remember the grade. I will throw out a guess of MS-67.

I agree with Frog, too hard to grade from the photos so I'll sit this one out also.

Looks like a fingerprint on the obverse at k12.

Won't reveal until 48 hours, but here's a clue: Nobody has guessed it right yet. :P

Since a majority feel it's on the high end and no one's guessed it right....The only missing high grade is MS 67+
