My guess is either AU or 64, lol hard to tell, I'm on laptop. WOW, what a nice present, cool.

 

I like this toning much more than the other coin you posted today, that is a nice coin, but the eagles breast feathers are either worn, which would warrant an Au-58, or it is just a weak strike and I'd go with a Ms-62 if thats the case.

 

I'd say a weak strike. Although, there does seem to be something goofy going on below the cotton bols on the obverse. Maybe just the pics.

It is uncirculated, though the strike is somewhat misleading.

 

Looks like a 63/64 coin, depending on how much luster it has in hand.

 

I'd guess MS64.

 

99 o are common for having a weak strike. I would say NGC MS 65. Very attractive color as well. I like it.

 

I'll go with MS64, although the cheek looks very clean - might go MS65. Nice Coin !!

 

Any more guesses before I reveal the grade?

 

I'd say MS-63-64 if it is a weak strike & not wear , cheeks & fields free of bag marks , might go 65 if it has the luster, & if strike is normal for the year . Pretty coin .

65 would be my guess.

 

I'm going to have to jump in with a 64. The fields are clean, but I am having trouble with what looks like a rub in the toning on the cheek-throat area, its known as a weak struck year.

 

First thought when I saw it was MS-64, sounds about right IMO. Nice coin! :thumb:

what about the smooth spot above the ear in the hair? Is it just a weak strike?

 

Here it is...



Thanks for the guesses and comments everyone.

 

Wow, the damage on the obverse did not harm the grade?

EDIT: I an confused. At MS-66, doesn't it have to have breast feathers? You can barely see them!

 

The untoned area on the cheek is not because of the toning being scraped off or flaking off, it's actually an old old fingerprint that must have kept that particular area from toning. I don't mind it too much though as the coin really is quite attractive in hand.

 

Well, if I personally had that coin, I would grade it AU-50 at the very highest because of the damage. (I was going to go XF-40, but I did not know about the weak strike thingy)
