I'm thinking 65, with that booming luster.
I find that the color makes it hard to focus on the doubling. Also the black spots from where someone slobbered on it are detracting to me....
I agree with 65, mainly due to what looks like a tick below GW's eye. nice coin!
Sorry, don't know ancients. The Cal fractional gold is neat. Your oregon and albany commems look very nice and above all leave those in their...

For comparison, here is my dipped/slightly retoned example, bought off eBay (raw) before I had an idea of what original surfaces looked like......
I think the reflections are messin' with ya. Don't be surprised that it's not a Morgan when it arrives. :)
That's really a beautiful coin despite the re-engraving. It has a great look and many collectors would be proud to own it, I think. Nice...
