I picked this up recently and wanted to see if you can guess what PCGS graded it. I'll post the grade soon.   |

MS64. Nice coin. I like the die crack at 11 O'clock star.

Everyone says MS so I guess I'm seeing weak strike on the eyebrow, obove the ear, where the bun meets the hair, bow, and right corn stalk. This is why I collect certified coins. My grading skills lack.

In my experience pictures show more flaws, and when it is in a slab .. marks on the slab will show up.
I think this coin is even better than it looks in the pictures.
I will go MS-65
Edit:
On second look, the only mark I can see on the coin is under the "ED" in united. And maybe the luster is a little thin in the "V"
I can see a MS 65, but not suprised if it is a MS 66

In fairness, my photography skills are not great. I especially have a hard time with slabbed coins. The coin exhibits a lot more luster in hand. A couple of marks on the cheek are actually the slab and not the coin.
I'll post the grade this afternoon.

MS65 with a better than average strike and few contact marks, very nice coin  Obverse stars are fully separated and the left ear of corn on the reverse is a bit weak but the husk is distinctly separated from the corn. The left ear of corn is almost never seen with full details because it is opposite the point of highest relief in the hair. |

I am going to say PCGS graded it MS-65 or even MS-66.

Thanks for all of your grades. PCGS graded it MS65 and I think it is appropriate. As I stated before, it does look better in hand.
