    MS 65? What's the dot on the right of the top star of the reverse?

    MS64. Strike is strong, and marks are few, but luster looks thin in fields, and nonexistent on many high points.

    Not my thing but I said MS-63 due to the rim hit on the reverse.

    I'm not seeing much of anything that would keep it from MS65

    Overall, you guys did really well. I picked this coin for it's flashy fields and strong strike, even though it's not entirely free of some weakness in the shield lines. The poll results were:

    MS-62 - 1
    MS-63 - 3
    MS-64 - 7
    MS-65 - 7
    MS-66 - 0
    MS-67 - 0

    The coin this replaces in the Type set is shown below.

    Thanks for playing!
