[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 601960, member: 2972"]Do you have the coin in-hand? The reason I ask is because unless you have the coin in-hand, it is difficult/impossible to truly judge luster. You have to have the coin in your hands and rotate it under a light to get a true feel for luster. Photos almost NEVER capture this critical component. That said, I'd grade the coin a 64. Cheek too marred to go higher, and it might even grade lower. Also, I can't make a FBL determination from the photos (not high enough resolution). All of the above IMO...Mike[/QUOTE]
