If there's nothing more on the cheek or fields than I can see in the pics, that'll go MS64, and a good one at that. It downgrades for the dig at 4:00 from the eye and the scratch at 3:00 from the nose, but I only see two marks in the obverse field and one scratch on the reverse field. Get me a pic shot in daylight, and I might change my opinion. Daylight is merciless on coins.  |

I don't have it in hand yet Dave.This is the pics that the seller had taken. I take all my coin pics in daylight and yes,it can bring out ever little mark but I like people to know what there getting.I won this one for a very good price. So hopefully it will work out ok. I have been pretty lucky lately with the coin I have won. I will post daylight pics when I get it.  Looks promising thou.  |

I agree, it does look promising. Then again, I'm a risk-taker. |

It wasen't to big a risk at $22.50  I think it looks MS63 possible 64.That light scratch on the cheek and that mark in front of the nose would keep it from going higher and whatever else might be hiding in the shaded areas.No visable rim dings thou. |

I would say MS-63 due to the marking on the face.

Hmmm. A little busier in person than in the auction pic. Solid MS63, possibly still 64 but I'd prefer to see it a little underexposed to show the fields better.

The reason I ask for underexposed images is to bring out the little chatter details which are important in this grade range. After a little massaging and deliberate oversharpening of the image in Photoshop, we get a clearer view of just how chattery the coin actually is:   What I see here is a pretty decent result, actually - even enhanced, nothing really huge comes out. I'm still undecided but tend to agree with hadleydog - if you're going to submit it, make it NGC. |

Actually,my last pics are pretty accurate.I even sharpened them more than the actual photo,try to bring out any inperfections.I don't think I will bother having it graded.I don't believe it would ever come back any higher than 64,so I would be just breaking even. I will just put it up for auction. I think you all are right on the money as far as grade. |
