64 RD here too.

I always wonder how PCGS is going to handle coins with light carbon like this one.

 

65

 

i agree thats a 65

 

Will say 64

 

Glad it's PCGS, makes my guess easier. Strike issue on the right wheat and subdued luster holds it back.

 

I will say 65 as well. But I was a little leery by picking 65 because of the carbon (pretty light but noticeable) on the reverse.

 

Nice coin , I'll go MS-65 RB . That's assuming the scratch is on the slab .
Rusty

 

I went with 65 cause I just had a feeling the fuzzy picture was not showing the true luster.

 

65.

 

65n1... nice.

 

66 - IMO that is a super nice 24

 

Couldn't go above a 65 because it looked like the luster was a little weak, but super smooth.

 

I am going to close this and http://www.cointalk.com/t155494/ tonight.

 

This coin is nearly mark free, has nice luster on the obverse, but only descent luster on the reverse, and has some spots (although not yet carbon spots). The difference in luster is noticeable both in hand and in my pictures. PCGS gave it a 64. In this case, if it is a 64, it is a real nice one.

 

Nearly everyone dropped a bit, but baha continues his lead.

Very harsh grade, decent luster and virtually hit-free. I guess they penalized for the obverse spots (small) and the poorly struck right wheat...and perhaps the luster is less than the pics hint at.

 

64 is brutal....
