    No way to GTG on that one.


    Photos are oversaturated with light and out of focus, that will hide a lot.
    Looks like one of Canyon City's ebay listing photos.

    I found it easy to grade from that photo, actually.

    Is it your photo or a sellers listing photo?

    You might be able to luck out and guess the right grade.
    Other members may guess the right grade as there are not that many options.
    There isn't anyone in the world that could properly grade that coin from the photos.

    Coin looks exactly like the photo, and very hard to photograph, as the reflectivity is extreme. As you said, there are very few options that would apply, anyway. I respect if you don’t think you can grade from the picture, but really, how many choices? 2 or 3?

    It's an 81s so 66 DMPL on the slab, but I'd call her 67-8+ dmpl in any other year :D

    Just for edification, I don’t own the coin at this point. I acted as a purchaser for my well-healed friend. So, I cannot get any better pics. Sorry.

    I can tell its DMPL , with the black fields
    I do not see many big marks though it is hard to tell how many smaller marks or scratches she has. I am going to say 65 DMPL but thats assuming she has more marks than I see.Could be higher.

    I guessed low at MS 63 and no designation with a juiced photo that makes it look DMPL (looks like "auction kings" on eBay).....that seller and a few others can make a semi pl 63 look like a 66 dmpl

    The coin is unquestionably juiced. By flooding it with light, and adjusting contrast, it is exaggerated considerably. The seller is “Auction Kings,” who definitely juices the photos, as has been pointed out. In real life the coin is quite attractive, but not as much cameo as shown in the photos. Is it still a PL or DMPL coin? Well, let’s get some more guesses. I don’t own the coin, as I said, so I cannot provide other photographs.

    My guess is that it's a coin with images juiced to Saturday morning cartoons quality. Strong pass......
