Thought this had an attractive look. How would you grade her?

Looks like a decent MS-64.

I was a bit hesitant to assign a grade to this one initially, but after a couple of looks at it, I'll go with MS-64+. The eye appeal is excellent; unfortunately, there are just a few too many contact marks for the coin to be elevated to a 65 in my eyes.

Pics are soft. I'll say MS-64.

Although there is not much wear, the vertical ridge line of Lib's body is rather obvious due to this factor.
Lib has a flat left cheek and boob.
Grade for Liberty side
AU-50,
Standing Eagle side is much better,
MS-63.

Expect a wide range of grade opinions for this coin.

Difficult to understand why the obverse strike could be so weak, when the reverse is so strong.

Agree with MS-64 despite the chatter on the skirt.

I won this one for $31 including the BP, so I think I did well. Like others have said, I thought the reverse looked much nicer. I thought it was worth a chance considering I got it for AU money and it is attractively toned.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I'll share pics when they arrive.

You did well on this purchase. The reverse is a 65 but the small chatter on the obverse holds it to a 64. Still a great buy, congrats!

Sel- Like Panzaldi said, this is actually a weak strike, don't confuse it with wear.

MS64 for me.

This one arrived. While it is a pretty coin, I can't go above AU-58 on it. There are luster breaks on the high points on the obverse as shown below. The reverse has a fantastic strike and shows no rub.

Your coin but it still looks 64 to me.
