I'll take a guess. MS-62?
Errers and Varietys.

i remember when I got my first Red Book way back in the 60's and saw this coin listed in the book. I was so fascinated by it wishing someday I would own one. it never happened i havent had the opportunity to grade enough of these to make an accurate assessment but this one sure is a stellar example. the differences between a high AU (58) and low MS coin is not easy. another killer coin by Adam. just from not seeing any circulation wear on the highest devices I have to go MS and agree with MS62 congrats Adam on the this addition |

Don't know the intricacies of this coin. I think there is light wear, AU-58. Quite an example.

MS 63. I think some of the appearance of wear may just be die wear. Fabulous coin!

Excellent example!
I'm in at mid-AU on grade and extending my congratulations for acquiring such a lovely historical coin.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I'll say AU-58. Brilliant coin.

Really nice example. The various tiny raised cracks and marks I see (especially on the reverse) are I presume caused by incuse defects in the dies. Those features seem sharp and distinct, with no visible friction. In-hand inspection would be required to determine if there is friction in the fields but this has the original look of a mint state piece. I'd venture MS-62 BN, with excellent eye appeal.

Will you be selling the old one on the forum?  |

@t360: I should have done that. Next time I will.
Grading these things is really hard, especially with the worn die factor.
