MS-64/brown.....

 

That is a very nice IHC. MS65BN is my guess.

 

Wow, MS 66 BN

 

I'll go with 66 and wonder if it's a proof. Pretty coin.

 

I am at PF65

 

I don't think it's a proof, but rather a very nice MS-66 BN. I can only see one discolored spot on the reverse on the shield and it's not very distracting. It is extremely well struck.

 

Yeah, that's a proof.

And a really nice one.

66 BN?

Hard to tell, but there appears to be some cameo on that. Can't tell from these pics if I'd call it CAM or not.

 

65
....the picture makes me wonder a bit, as I see no blemishes (I could actually see the grade being even higher). I also considered it being a proof and it might be (I went back and forth but am leaning slightly towards not a proof).

 

Hey, y'all compare some BS Indians: https://coins.ha.com/c/search-resul...=790+231+51+327+73&Ntt=1899&ic4=SortBy-071515

To some proof Indians: https://coins.ha.com/c/search-resul...=790+231+51+327+81&Ntt=1899&ic4=SortBy-071515

Not even close.

The coin in this OP is a proof.

 

I over thought it. Looking up examples (including those links) confirms it is a proof.

 

You're right! It is a proof.

I'll post the grade tomorrow; maybe we'll get a few more guesses.

Edit: bigger pics added in this post

 

I’m at proof 65 brown. I saw that it was a proof as soon as I looked at it

 

MS65.75. Really, this has a shot at MS66.

 

Now you tell me. OK, PF66. There, you satisfied?

 

I dunno. I can't tell.

And as far as the cameo, I've been told that it does not have the same contrast depending on the lighting and the angle.

 

As promised...

 

They’ll up it if you resubmit. I wouldn’t. That means it’s 66 by today’s standards.

 

Does anyone think that, if it would go 66, does it have a shot at a +? CAC?
