How accurate is my grading on this Kennedy half

I am still learning how to distingquish grades. I don't have a lot of practice with Kennedy halves. I know the pictures are a little dark but my guess would be a MS62-63. Please let me know if I am off and why you think that.

*sorry about the rotated pictures, not sure what is going on.

My camera does the same things with my kennedy reverses, always turns them sideways

 

Really? Strange. I tried to rotate and save them on imageshack but they still came up rotated when I posted them here.

 

Happens to me also....

 

i would say your grading sounds fairly accurate but as i see the coin is say ms-61

Thank you for the opinion

 

Nice coin. I would grade it MS63, same as you, although it might be a 58

 

I am in the park of AU-55. It does appear to have some wear on it and doesn't seem to have the luster of an MS Kennedy.

 

I could have under estimated the wear, the luster could be from the pictures. In hand, the luster is much nicer. My lighting set up is pretty poor.

 

I would say MS63 possible MS64, but what do I know :devil:

 

The dark area to the face and the lower part of the neck look like it has a bit of rub. I'm thinking it's AU-55.

 

au 58

 

Give this grading contest a shot. Who knows if you get 10 outa 10 grades, you might be asked back for a 2nd interview.

Thanks for the link. I was wondering who won the Orlando contest. It was a lot of fun. You had 20 minutes to grade 20 coins.
