This specimen waa one of those in the dealers case that was like a becon to ones eye.... the subject has always been a favorite, for the art deco design......@ > $50. It was a no brainer cart wheel luster... what do you believe would ngc or pcgs assign grade be?
I find these beastly to grade, due to the low relief and swirly design. With cartwheel luster like that, though, I'd speculate 64-ish, at least.
There are big jumps in price from 64 to 65 and from 65 to 66 for this one. I think it could be anywhere in that range from the photos.
Monroe half dollars are usually frosty to dull with so-so strikes. This one is graded MS-64 and close to as good as you will find. The OP photo is out of focus, but the bright shine might be a problem. These coins are common in slider Unc. and cleaning them up has long been a temptation for dealers and collectors. When the Hollywood producers could sell any more of these coins, they dumped them into circulation.
