    Let's take guesses on when we're going to get the pictures. I'll guess 9:35 CST. :)

    It does have full bands, I can see that. I can't really give an accurate grade guess from those pictures, however.

    Are those surfaces prooflike, or semi-prooflike? Or are the photos underlit?

    I was thinking the same thing it looks almost like its a proof but its not.

    Probably all of the above. In hand the surfaces surprised me. They look polished and honestly I would never had expected this coin to straight grade, but I got the coin already in the slab.

    I am at a 64 full bands, though I can't see anything definitive from the photos.

    MS65FB, though the prooflike nature of the surfaces is making it look really bad in those photos.

    I’m not what I would consider to even be a good photographer. The lighting in my house sucks, and lighting is a huge element.

    The surfaces, especially the obverse look polished and shiny and this coin was even more difficult to capture than most.

    I'm going to say MS-66FB. Looks like it has wonderful PL surfaces too.
