Based on the TruView, I was at MS63. Your photos seem to indicate better luster and the color is very nice, I say MS64.
The obverse surfaces are pretty clean but I think the hits on the reverse, the fingerprints, and the lack of luster will prevent a gem grade. I...
My experience with war year common date Mercury Dimes is that even if they have dramatic rainbow toning, they are very difficult to sell without...
Based on the second set of photos, I will also say AU58.

I haven't really seen an increase in the number of AT coins getting through other than the ASE series. In general, I think the TPGs do a pretty...
You are going to have people tell you that intent matters, and I will tell you the reason that it doesn't. Whenever you look at a coin, the only...
The Pan-Pac Octagonal $50 is my favorite as well, but since it wasn't on the list in the OP, I voted for the SLQ which I like marginally better...
The coin is beautiful with very attractive toning and the luster looks like the booming luster created by an LDS strike. However, the details are...
I have to say, I'm quite surprised with the number of people who think this coin has artificial toning/questionable color. The toning is not over...
