I want to say 66 as that coin is sweet. I especially like the die polish lines and the die break/die transfer? Coming out of Washingtons hair ribbon. My only hold up is the hit on the Eagles claw and arrows. That might knock it down, but I just don't think so...MS66 it is.
I'm a bit late, but I would have said 66 based on what I'm seeing. Congrats on a nice coin. Out of curiosity, what made you say 61? Can you explain the reasoning behind this egregiously low grade?
This is not the first GTG where he guessed incredibly low. Not sure if it's intentional or he just can't grade. But it's certainly not the first time.
Keep in mind, we're: a)grading from pictures, b) playing a GUESSING GAME Congrats on the grade, btw. PS - wouldn't you rather undergrade a coin you are buying, than overgrade and overpay?
