    Hello,
    Just wanted to see what everyone thought this would grade out at and what it would be worth. There are a couple of dark spots on the right...not sure how much that would impact the grade.
    Thanks!

    I'd say... 64?

    I agree. MS-64.

    High Ms-64, I think...

    Numismania You hockey puck!!

    I'm in the 64 camp. Don't think it would garner an FBL designation, but the reverse looks better than the obverse (a few more noticable marks). Nice coin, but not worth the grading fees/shipping. Grab a Dansco, and make a nice matched raw set....I prefer my coins white, so I think a matched set like this one would look great.

    63-64 tops, no FBL. Value around $45.

    Thanks for looking everyone!

    Only $45? I thought the red book on this was between $70 (ms63) and $100 (ms65). Or, is that only FBL value?

    Never use Redbook values, the only way you're gonna get book is if you're a dealer.... IMO, that coin is'nt worth but about $30, my dealer sells these in 65 and slabbed for $50, so go figure....

    Thanks. What do you use to determine values?

    The price of $45 I quoted, came from numismedia.com.
