    Got this in the mail today. The luster is much nicer than the picture appears. There is a small spot of scratches next to the eagles head, which may be tick marks from reeding, as they are perfectly spaced, but I can't say for sure. I would call the coin an ms-63 personally. What do you guys think?

    Gorgeous coin. Very nice strike. I just can't get an impression of the luster from looking at the picture.

    Well I said it was a 63 in the original post, but with those pics, I think it is definitely a shot 64. That coin looks absolutely clean, expect for the mark you pointed out. I guess the grade will just depend on the color and luster.

    Looks like you have another winner!

    Certainly 64....I would even dare to give it a 65 with that hair detail....

    I'll let everyone know by monday what it grades. It's arrived at it's location, and is being graded express. I'm excited to see! I really hope it comes back nicer than a 63.

    Looks like you have at least an MS64 there zane. Its a beautiful Bust Half. That would make a great prize for a future contest!!! ;)
