    Coin is very dark, but nice strike, I've removed the color on one view so the marks can be seen better. I will say this, it has been graded by PCGS and also has a CAC sticker.

    Easy 65, look at that hair around the ear, I'll go 1 step further, add plus to that 65 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    MS64, while it looks pretty clean, it also looks lackluster.

    Tough to judge the luster underneath the toning. That being said, I'll guess a 65.

    Ditto, in spite of the fingerprints on both sides.

    What's the highest grade possible for a blatantly fingerprinted coin?
    MS66?

    I don't know if the grading services deduct points for fingerprints.

    You should have posted this picture in the first place--the other photos were very unflattering. It is a gorgeous coin from this photograph.
