    I've this for a few months now and was wondering what's it's grade. It's got amazing luster (better than picture) and the color as you see is fantastic. The only real visible mark is a tiny nick on St.George's knee, and an even teenier mark on the horse's chest. But, these are very small. Also, the fields are beautiful as you can see on the left; not one scratch. Let me know what you think! Is it MS-62? 63? 64? 65+?

    I've never tried to grade one of these. With that in mind, I would say 65.

    (Apparent) Rim chatter limits grade to 64, IMO.

    BTW, gorgeous coin! :)

    The rim is reeded so it might have a chattery effect in the pictures ;)

    I can see how reeding may have me fooled. Thanks for pointing that out.

    How is Elizabeth's cheek? Any hairlines or chatter there?

    Because now I like the coin as a 65. :)

    Nice skin on that coin too, by the way. :)

    It's more of an uneven toning from what I can recall (it's in my safety deposit box right now).
