    Oh, it's MS all right... and damn near 65 too, if you ask me. :eek:

    And check it for the OMM (O/CC) when you get her in hand too, because (I can't believe I'm gonna say this) I swear I see something protruding from the top of the mintmark. :yes:

    It's hard for me to judge the grade particularly since the obverse photo was taken at an angle to try to capture the toning.

    I don't see any evidence of an OMM. All I see are the random "speckles" in the toning.

    I think it looks like wear in the high spots, and I would say AU. Very nice coin, though. I agree with Chris--poor angle for the photograph.

    Yep... I have to agree with ANACS, looks like MS65 to me. Makes you wonder what grade PCGS would have given it; we have at least two members here who think it's AU.

    Well, I think it is AU based on the picture, that show an almost featherless breast on the eagle. Either it is a terrible picture, or the weakest strike around. I suspect the picture is awful.
