Looks like a weak strike....and I'm going to say that it is graded by NGC?
MS62??

Speedy

 

I'd say MS63.

 

Ngc Au-58 *

 

That one looks much better than the last one, but the lack of luster suggest a strong dipping, although it could simply be the scan/photo. In any event, I grade the coin AU 58...Mike

 

I would say off the top of my head MS60, the strike looks weak but there arent many visible scratches and I can only see a little wear on the highest points.

 

weak strike ms-60

 

Very little wear . Clean ... Maybe dipped. Still an excellent coin. MS62.

An AU-58 and the MS-63 are closer in looks than the AU-58 and MS-60 are in grade... IMHO that is

As soon as I saw the white insert, I suspected you had found an NGC in MS 62-23 for us. Good one!

It really goes to show that grading a coin, particularly an AU/MS slider, is practically impossible with only scans, only marginally easier with a good photo, and is best done with the coin in hand...Mike
