This is a privately-slabbed coin, and it is nowhere near MS64. I'd say it falls in the VF/EF range.

Thanks for the feedback sickpuppy78501. Can you tell me what about it makes it VF/EF to you? I thought at the very least it would be AU. Thanks again!

Looks sorta like a blanchard or a NCI
Im not sure what your seeing to think VF/XF
Looks like an easy MS example probably a 62/63

I'd say MS-63 on the grade. Agree it's likely privately slabbed.

Thanks Jakes Coins! I just checked those two out, it's very similar to the old NCI slabs, including the white spacer. Probably a fairly common slab for the period.
Thank you as well coin rejector, I am familiar with PCGS Photograde, I was more trying to make sure the slab itself wasn't anything interesting before I DESTROY it.
Thanks again all, I really appreciate the advice!

Sorry about that ericgreen. Any tips on taking better photos (outside of a better camera  )? |

outside of a better camera I doubt you need a better camera, even a recent-model iPhone camera is likely more than enough. What really matters, is the lighting: if you play around with multiple sources, color temperature, diffusers to avoid glare, etc. you can get very good pics. |

Thanks very much classic_coin, I've been meaning to look into some kind of lighting but something more urgent always seems to come up. I will have to try to make it a priority.
sickpuppy78501 I think you and I must have pretty different viewpoints on grading, but I will certainly take your opinion into account. Thanks again!

Given the posted images, I'm thinking low end MS. Would love to see the piece in-hand (but that won't be happening).

I have this at MS63-MS64. I have a few coins in similar slabs.

w/ Jakes Coins, compare your coin to the PCGS grading chart....
