It appears to be a toned MS-63. I don't see anything that would push it above that.

How did you get these pics. Scanner or camera?

i think this thread is a prime example of why the 70 point system stinks.
with the old system everyone would be right in grade and it would just be the eye appeal to ponder over which would affect what we would pay for it.

That is kinda where I was going (at least for my own sake) with this whole Guess the Grade idea. I know it is nearly imposible to get an exact grade by a picture, but I think my pics are fairly good and the guesses are still all over the Uncirculated grades.
Hey skane- I took those pics with a 2.2 megapixel Kodak digital camera, using a 10x and a 7x lens together with the flash off and macro setting on. I also take them in a dark room, with two flexible desk lamps with GE Reveal bulbs diffused through clear milk jug lenses. (Yeah, coin pics can be a little tricky!!  )

(I don't have a coin shop around to be able to see slabs firsthand)
Some of those from the CW forum may remember me talking about this, and I was about to start a Guess The Grade thread over there before we all got kicked out.
I can pretty much agree with what is on the label, but I have a much better view than you guys. I will post another coin (one that I don't necesarily agree with) in another thread and see what you all think.
I posted a Mercury dime on CW (R.I.P.) that I thought should have been body bagged, but it is in a PCGS MS64FB slab. Turns out alot of the members agreed with the grade. I'm just trying to get a grip on grading uncirculated coins.

I agree with the grade, Bbut I don't think it is full steps. The bottom two steps blend together and there is a couple of nicks on them.
