    Really sharp looking coin. Not sure on grade, however. :)

    I like it, just not sure what's going on at 11 o with the rim.

    Thats a cool subject for a coin. Love the grizzly bear and the fact it's a California commem.
    Nice pick up.

    Nice coin, Phil! I think this is an MS coin - 63?

    Here's my AU piece -

    That is just a lighting artifact, no rim ding.

    one of my favorites that I do not own yet.
    looks nice, no idea on grade.

    I'm in agreement with Buffalo Hunter, an MS63/64 (those scuffs on the bear will ultimately determine the grade). Beautiful example!

    I'm not very good at grading these, but I think it's MS-64. Nice coin.

    @Pickin and Grinin That being the case I'll say 63

    That sure was a sharp eye, @dwhiz to pick that up.

    Nice coin!
    I will say MS 63 ...these aren't commonly seen circulated and I am not seeing obvious wear from the photos.

    I think 63 seems about right. I once saw one of these that I really liked. Had some nice color. Two problems (I thought at the time), it was in the wrong holder (blue Anacs), and I thought the price was a little to high. That was years ago, I regret not buying it.

    I have done that a few times. One of them was a Grant in a 58 rattler. I wish I would have bought it even with the high price.
    There was a beautiful Connecticut today raw. But I thought it was over dipped.

    Not my most fav classic commem, but a 'looker' non the less.
