65 BN, but an NGC 66 wouldn't surprise me either.

 

I went with 65.

 

After this finishes, I'll try to post some more pictures of the coin, it has OUTSTANDING green-blue toning, almost like chan color. Its a gorgeous coin.

 

Poll closing tomorrow......wow.....this thread was a MISERABLE failure.

 

I went with 65.

 

Great coin, nice toning, great strike, I see no problem getting a 64 BN.





Here's some pictures of the toning:

 

Believe it or not, that's the same coin!

 

That's a nice looking coin.

 

I am surprised at the 64. Surfaces look VERY clean.

Tell me, why do YOU think it was graded 64?

How's the luster?

 

I am not so sure it is how many there are, but rather where they are. Forehead, eye, cheek and collar are not exactly unimportant areas.

 

There's very strong booming luster, like cartwheel luster, and an excellent strike in the bust, almost like a proof. Really, I can't see anything on the coin in person that looks like it holds it back from a 65. I bought it for the toning and strike.
