Just won my bid on this one. A date I've been wanting to upgrade. Loved the strike on this coin - so many of these are weakly struck. Seller's pics. Only thing I'm wondering about is the area under "NT" on the reverse. Comments?

Pics not sharp enough for me to feel comfortable grading.

I would grade it as "wish it were mine"...

Your pictures seem to show significant luster and little wear so I would put it in BU range. I'm not that good with the small grading classification differences.

I wish this was a bit sharper of an image. I see only a few tics on the face but otherwise she looks quite nice. I would hazard a guess of MS-64 but really need a few more pics.

Sharper photos would be needed to best evaluate the coin. I'll hazard a guess at MS-63. The nick on the reverse at 9 O'Clock and what appears to be a couple of dings + light scratches across the reverse holds it to a 63 in my opinion.

lighting on this one could be hiding something. specifically reverse field under CENT. I'm thinking this was on purpose so you'll have to see when you get it. decent strike. some marks on the shield. the area below CENT is my biggest concern.

MS63

I agree, panzaldi. If you look at my first comment, that's the area that I thought may be a potential issue. I'll post new pics when it arrives.

Don't doubt the potential, just can't get a firm handle on the soft pics.
