    Please provide your estimates and if you would, any reasons behind your choice.
    Thanks.

    P.S. I do not have better pictures. Sorry.

    The pictures are just too small to give a good grade. But I would say no higher than 64 brown. It has some spotting and does not appear to have great luster.

    I would agree except that the population report indicates there are a ton of them out there higher than 64, of which this coin is likely one of.

    Nearly impossible to give a grade here but as said, there are a lot of these that survived in better grades and are original and not cleaned.

    It was graded by PCGS in the mid 80's. I'm trying to determine if there is potential for resubmission.

    I'm asking for better pics. I'll keep you all posted.

    Can't see enough to really give a grade, there can be plenty of contact marks that may be hidden. It does look very well struck though. A total guess MS-65 RB

    The seller did not specify a mint error, so I'm pretty sure it's just a lousy picture.

    If it has an old green holder label the higher grade is already built-in, -kind of a waste of time to send it back in, the money would be better spent on a CAC sticker in my opinion, if you got it back with a gold bean then you'd really have something.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I can tell that it is somewhere above EF-40. Unfortunately, those pictures don't allow me to grade it with any more precision than that.
