    What do you grade this at?

    Personally I think it's at least a 65, but I could be off.

    Hard to grade gem MS coins from such small pictures, but it looks to be at least 64.

    I cannot see much more than Thad. That pic is awfully small to be giving too accurate of a grade.

    Yeah I know. How can I enlarge it without making it really blurry?

    The man12- do you have the coin in hand? Take digital macros photos- close ups. I think it's a 65ish as I see very few probelms. Excellent toning

    Based on what I can see in the images, my guess would be MS65RB or possibly MS66RB. Hopefully you aren't going to spend money to have it graded.

    Here is as big as I could make them without them getting completely blurry.
    I'm with the 65 crowd, but not worth getting graded.

    I don't think it's worth getting graded, but I don't think I got taken either at $5.

    I cannot tell for sure, is it RED or RB? Either way, my guess is you have a solid 65.

    Take a look at that coin. If you only see a couple tiny ticks with the naked eye, id send it to PCGS. They are worth alot in ms66rd! I sent a 1954 and it came back ms65, if it made ms66 it would be worth so much! Even an ms65 is worth alot, but much less than ms66

    From those pics it looks pretty gemmy, a nice BR or RB. I imagine it has some of that nice blueish toning......

    Define "a lot". To me, a 66rd '40d is a $25 coin. In my case, I'd be lucky to get a rd and not an rb which is a $15 coin...
