Seems alright to me, what do you think? I won't have it in hand for a couple of days. sellers pics aren't the best. But then again neither are his grading skills.   |

That looks really nice! Seems to fly in the face of the weak strike thread, too!
How do you think it will grade?

I think it has a good chance to make MS-64, nice looking coin.

I see the coin as an easy 64 I'm kinda hoping for a 65 as far as the strike goes it seems to be pretty sharp.
as far as blowing the weak strike thread out of the water, one coin does not a series make.

I would say 65 is possible depending on how clean the coin is.

I think MS63 is a fair grade, lots of chatter all over front and back. and the marks on the face....MS63

Looks like the cracks are in the right spot.. may be it is just the lighting?

I worry a little about the cheek - seems washed-out in the photography, so any marks might be understated. Fields look nice, though, and 64 isn't out of the question. I suspect the marks between the nose and eye will be more prominent in-hand.
1899 seems to be a bad year for die cracks - I've seen a bunch with circumferential cracking. With that in mind, although it looks good for 11A, better to wait and attribute in-hand.

The coin didn't start out in the mail system very far away from me, it could and should be here very soon.
I will make my usual feeble attempt at photographing it when it arrives.

I think I would have to have it in hand to grade properly. HINT HINT  Otherwise I think you could be right 65 it has a good chance. From the pics I don't see any distracting marks. You have to post better pics when I arrives.  |

I expected it today, but it wasn't in the mail, so probably tomorrow.

A definite MS63 with a nice shot at higher (after viewed in hand).
