Do you have the coin in-hand? The reason I ask is because unless you have the coin in-hand, it is difficult/impossible to truly judge luster. You have to have the coin in your hands and rotate it under a light to get a true feel for luster. Photos almost NEVER capture this critical component. That said, I'd grade the coin a 64. Cheek too marred to go higher, and it might even grade lower. Also, I can't make a FBL determination from the photos (not high enough resolution). All of the above IMO...Mike
Yeah this one is really not too bad with contact marks besides the cheek, but I do think it would brobably grade a 63 or 64. Mike: Yeah I do have it in hand and the picture does not do the luster justice.
MS64, seems this coin got in a few fights with some other coins in it's lifetime Can't say I see FBL, but won't really be able to tell unless a great pic of the bell lines are provided, or if I see the coin in hand You can send me the coin, and I'll say if it is FBL or not, but you might not get the coin back! LOL A very nice coin A solid 64 in my opinion
Ha Ha!!! I said 63 immediately. Thanks for backing me up ya'll. Too many contact marks to get a better grade IMHO. Otherwise a beautiful coin, love to have it for myself. Allen
From the image it looks 63 at best. The mark on the reverse above the H worries me. It looks like a new scratch. Maybe just the image.
