Ok, just grade and opinions please, no poll. Just pulled the trigger on this baby 15 minutes ago, on a best offer. No other pix available yet.

MS64 nice one.

 

Great coin! I think MS62 because it seems there's a tiny bit of detail missing in the leaves when a/b ing with photograde. I'm still learning though.

 

Not a series I know a ton about but I don't see any obvious wear. It has a few dings...one pretty good one on the Shield. So, I'm gonna say MS63.

 

MS 64...I see a minor scrape in the shield and some small scattered hits...the TrueView doesn't make the luster look booming, so that prevents me from giving it a gem grade

 

MS-62. Does it have a die variety destination?

 

Nice original. Wild guess...64.

 

Very nice. I need one in that condition. I’m thinking a MS-63 but I know very little about this series.

 

I agree, MS-64 .

 

looks MS-65 to me , not a ton of marks I can see
No expert though but I like it

 

I’ll go 63. Don’t see any hint of an overdate but I do see the 1 is repunched...

 

And I thought i was just seeing things.

 

MS63. Nice pick up.

 

65 Nice coin.

 

Any more guesses? This is getting interesting! The coin arrives on Friday.

 

I agree with the consensus on it being a middle MS 63-64 coin. Apparently, PCGS does not agree, as you will see. I will defer my judgement until I see the coin in hand.

 

Interesting. I will admit I do not own any of these coins so I don't know where minor rubs occur. None are apparent when I look at the photo...but then again I just don't know this coin that well. It will be interesting to see if you see any luster breaks in hand.

 

Well killer coin for the grade

 

I see no wear that is obvious. I will wait to have the coin in hand, and take my own pictures, as Trueviews are notoriously inaccurate. However, I suspect it will be very much low to mid MS appearing.

 

I was thinking MS64. but, you may be able to see some subtle rub with the right light... let us know.
