I have to say no FS due to the area below the 3rd pillar. Not great toning or booming luster so no star. Some planchet roughness, but still some hits. Seems like weak strike or wear in the hair and top rim of the obverse, or maybe just a fiction of my phone screen.

MS65

 

64

 

64 No FS

 

Too many bag marks for 65 imo. 63+ or 64

 

Some of you guys aren't voting in the poll. Its ok to comment with your grade, but please also vote in the attached poll, thank you.

 

Allow us to change our votes please. I forgot to click "Not Full Steps. "

 

No, the full steps is obviously not full. I include that option for consistency.

 

I think it got 65 no FS, although that gash on the cheek might lower it to 64.

 

Bump, not a lot of responses on this one, need help guys. Missing @kSigSteve @TypeCoin971793 @ddddd @Morgandude11 @Collecting Nut @Santinidollar @Paddy54

 

66, not FS. Two small breaks in the steps. Nice toning!

 

66+

Bridging steps under column 3.

 

Sorry about that, I obviously missed this thread. MS-65, not FS.

 

I was torn between 64 and 65 but bumped to a 65 based on luster/clean fields....that hit in the middle of the cheek could prevent the 65 and keep it at 64....and no full steps

 

I too was torn between 64 and 65 because of some of the heavy bagmarks and small scratch over the dome. surfaces look semi-PL, so maybe that bumped it to 65?

Not FS.

 

Womp, Womp



Nobody got this one right, and that includes NGC. I've seen this coin in hand, it hasn't been cleaned.

My guess was MS64 with a shot at MS65 and definitely not full steps.

 

Wow Unexpected looks like a normal uncirculated coin to me not cleaned.

 

Interesting, I gave the heavy gouge on the jaw the benefit of doubt. That is a heavy mark. i thought the luster and originality made up for it. Gave it a gem no steps grade. The mark on the high cheek bone is what concerned me.

Now that you pointed it out. The surfaces look flashy in the slab.

NGC was out to lunch on this one.
