65.

 

Can't get a good look at it at the image scale, but I'd say MS-65 at a minimum.
I can't see any marks in the major focal areas except possibly on the reverse.
Larger image needed.
MS-67 is within the realm of possibility.

 

Now that's a coin I'm looking for but at least 3 grades higher then I can afford , fields look real clean MS-66 , nice coin .

we never can get large enough images here you go

 

Looks 66 from the images. I'll guess they gave it a 65.

 

That's the way to do it find a higher grade coin in a lower grade slab , now if only I could do it .

its easy you have to put more effort into finding the right dealers and patience

 

Well with a little help from my friends .:thumb:

I can't stand to look at it..... you know that looking at it just tortures me. I would have to say that is a solid 66. The obverse looks extremely clean. The reverse looks very nice as well. Solid coin.

 

Yes. Yes it is.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say PCGS MS66.

Regardless of what they say, it's a great coin.

 

memebers please bring all you isabella coins for display we have to get the evil spirit out of joe and i know of no better medicine

 

This is only a 63.

 

wow nice

 

Knowing spock as long as I say MS66 I know I am in the ball park. It is a sweet coin.

 

I think a little better than 65, MS66.

Obverse looks clean enough to be a 66. Not so sure about reverse.

I'll guess 66.

 

I see no obverse problems.
The marks I saw on the reverse are definitely there in front of Liberty.
They are more like light rubs rather than dings. Just enough to break the natural surface.
MS-66 seems more likely now (but I'm still rooting for a MS-67.)

 

All Isabella 25c are counterfeits. Know how you can tell ?

Look carefully at the reverse. It says "Board of Lady Managers"... yet the coin is dated 1893 !

And we're told women "weren't allowed" to have jobs back then !
