    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I like it at 63. It looks attractive, if a bit dark.

    I'm not familiar with that term. What does it mean?

    Jason, it used to be the brand name of a woman's hair removal product.

    But sometimes you would use it too? To keep smooth as a 9 ball:cigar: ;)

    The deep toning makes it hard to assess, my best guess is 63-64.
    "neet" sounds like something a coin doctor would use.

    My first impression was '63 and I see that my friends above seem to somewhat agree with me.....:)

    I'm thinking MS-65, very very nice coin with minimum flaws.

    I thought there was some wear showing on both the obverse (above the eye and on the cheek also on the front edge of the hair) and the reverse (on the lower part of the big sail and the right side of the left sail). I'm sating AU 58, but maybe my monitor just isn't that good.

    I love the toning on that coin. It looks like a slider but I think I will say MS-65, maybe MS-64.

    I started cropping the photo but after half an hour my computer crashed so my work was lost, this is all that was saved :arghh::arghh::arghh:. I lost 30 other minutes of work:dead:.

    I think you need a photo-editing software suite which has a circle crop feature..... For example, in photoshop, this task takes approximately 7 seconds.

    Even less in Photoscape.......

    And watch out for the 'circle crop' feature. It can easily degrade into 'crop circles'..... devil.gif

    Given the dark color, toning style and a few hits that I can make out... I'd say MS64 max.
