This one is on the verge of terminal toning, but very colorful and lustrous The scratches on the obverse were a pain to try and get thru. Good luck.
Ooo - I like that rusty, crimson toning; quite unique! I'm in the same boat.. thinking it's MS64 Edit- voted MS64*
The toning is nice but no way star worthy. The coin just doesn’t have the look of a premium gem unless the photos are hiding luster. I have it at straight MS65.
For all those that are guessing less than gem. What are you seeing? In terms: Is there a contact mark? or do you think that the toning is hiding the true coin? It is dark, but do you think that there should be a bump for originality? Or, do you see enough evidence on the surfaces to keep it from Gem. I will say that there is a pretty deep bag mark crossing from the U (bus) to the wing. Also one on the obverse (very hard to see with the toning) but it is there. I will try and show the full luster no color in the reveal.
I’m can’t see bad wear or marks due to the toning. Personally, my guess is just a shot in the dark. I look forward to the reveal!
looks like some one on the coin then it toined from being stored in the right place for a while/coin roll definitely not star worthy but its kind of attractive.
From the devices I can see that aren't masked too much by the color, I think it's easily gem. MS65 on the low side.
Tbh... I think the coin is a very ugly one... The toning makes it look ugly and to me there is no luster.
