    Can I change my answer now?

    Can you comment on the hairlines visible on the obverse?

    Mike,

    Can you even find one of these things in a 63 slab? If so, why would anyone ever buy it?

    Most marks you see in the picture are on the slab. The actual coin itself is really smooth and mark-free! :D Go ahead and change your answers due to this statement ;)

    I will post the grade tomorrow around noon :D

    My guess is MS-65

    I agree, I have been looking for a 68 for sometime, but they are always just too much money. One of the NGC forum members actually has a rainbow toned MS67. I told him that if he ever sells it, he can pretty much name his price.

    I had one. Bought it in a set of weird slabs. I figured I paid less than $1 for it. Sold it on eBay for $14 ($28 for that and a MS64 steel from the same lot). Funny, I saw the same coins about 2 weeks later on eBay. I don't remember for sure, but I think he got about $15 for the both of them.

    The holder does not give it any justice, but I will give it an MS-66. A very nice coin!

    Welp! For those of you who guessed MS66 were absolutely right! :D Thanks everyone for your opinions, hopefully next time I will get better pics of the coin without the scratches and marks showing on the slab ;)

    I'm thinking higher end 65, having a good chance at a 66. Nice coin! :thumb:

    I think tht coin would have had a good shot at 67 were it not for that spot by the date.
