if you have the coin in hand it helps to post those photos along with the Trueview as they are rarely good representations of the coin. that said the coin has high eye appeal with even gold toning on both sides and a nice golden rim area. this will add to the desirability and grade of the coin. surface preservation I have at 4 out of 5 on both sides. looks like all the luster is all there. the strike is typical for the year.
Trueview grade - MS66
my grade - MS66 typically I knock the trueview down by at least a full point but this coin appears to be in the 66 range whether on the low side or high side of it and the eye appeal will hold it in that box
its a nice coin

I think it is time to reveal. This coin was graded MS66 by PCGS and received a CAC sticker as well.

Pictures don't often display the luster accurately. Surface preservation looks very nice. Since luster is a contributing factor (20%) toward grade, if the PCGS pics are accurate I would have to say MS-64. If the luster is better than depicted here then I go with MS-65.

Strange photos for a 66. Really looks 64 to me from those. I'd like to see better photos but congrats!

Hit or miss using TrueView photos.

i dont know how anyone can grade this coin at 64. the eye appeal alone would bump it. it would be interesting though to see the in hand photos rather than the trueview to compare them

I'm in the MS 65 camp, could make a 66. Real beauty.
