Fresh from NYINC... Guess The Grade

Interesting...I'll say it's uncirculated but a low grade (61) due to all the hits...cool coin!

 

That looks like a proof coin, not MS.

I picked 62, either way.

 

I went with 63+, could have gone 64.

 

I've been fascinated with Karl Alexander ever since learning of the similarities between his assassination and JFK's. (Though he looks a lot more like Woodrow Wilson than JFK on this coin!). Both Alexender and JFK were shot, while riding in the back of open-air cars alongside other dignitaries, both died, and both were captured on film and turned into international sensations at the time. Great video from 1934...

 

62+ for the mirrored fields. Is it a restrike? I see a stamped privy mark behind the busts after the lettering.

 

Well, turns-out it's actually an MS61 though beats me why it isn't higher.
