I recently bought this coin for my us type set. What do you think it graded? Pic is slightly out of focus and the dark areas you see on the rev are reddish and burnt orange toning.

Lots of luster on this one, from what I can tell from the pictures I'd grade it MS-62.

The luster certainly suggests it is some MS grade, but it could be a very lustrous "slider" AU coin. I would need larger, sharper photos to venture a number. Based on these images I'd guess it could grade anywhere from AU-55 to MS-64.

TONS of luster!

I can't see this coin going any less than MS!

Probably MS62, my best guess.

I actually agree with you guys, what you couldn't really see from the photo is the slight break in luster on Ms. Liberty's Knees which relegated this beauty to AU status. I see this coin as an AU-58 PQ+ (for luster and eye appeal) slider which could easily make MS-62/MS-63 without the slight circulation. The toning is masked in the pics as well.
