I purchased this coin recently. What are your thoughts on its grade and toning? Thanks in advance.

Beautiful example of purple-toned IHC
MS64 sounds right to me.
Rest in Peace

Choice MS-64 based on chatter alone, very PQ for the grade, outrageous amazing toning. Nice buy, how much? I have one or two like this.

The insignificance of the chatter near the cheek with the overall cleanliness of the fields...combined with the extreme eye appeal may get this a technical MS-65 grade. I see no real reason why not.

I paid $85 for mine. This coin jumped out at me and for that price I would probably be kicking myself if I did not take it home.

Beautiful coin and toning. Definitely at least an MS64.

D0ubl3Eagle,
In addition to being an awesome coin, your photogrpahs are top notch. What is your technique for getting pictures like this?

I'm going with MS-65 with a plus for eye appeal.
They don't get much nicer

Very nice coin!

I would also like to know about your photo set up for the pics. Good detail and you captured the toning!

The picture was taken with my Canon SD1100. The settings I used for this coin were ISO80, timer of 5 secs, no flash, 3x optical zoom, tungsten for white balance, 0 for exposure, and spot metering. The camera was mounted on a tripod and the coin was placed on a piece of velvet. As for lighting, I used 2 halogen lights though they are both of different intensity so one of the lights was farther away from the coin than the other. I placed both lights around 90 degrees apart. I will try to get a pic of my setup but I won't be home until around Sunday.
