    Paid a tad too much for this one, but I do love it.

    Okay, knowing you, Ken.


    I'll go for 65.

    I was going to say 66, then enlarged the picture, too many hits on the face of BTW

    For the win.....
    64
    I was at 65 but feel the nose gash and print would keep it from gem.....

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SPLASH OF TONING ON THE REVERSE! overall a very nice coin imo

    Is it in a old holder? I have many old holders that now show the finger print but I am sure it was not viable at the time it was graded.

    MS-65

    I think it's PCGS 11 series......not totally sure though......

    And that fingerprint is mine in the holder.

    I'm going to guess 65. What do you find especially appealing about the coin, if I may ask?

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I'll call it 64. The reverse looks nice, there are just too many hits on the face for me to go higher.

    Sometimes, I'll take a picture that I really like, and then notice a fingerprint later. That would drive me crazy - so much so that I usually wipe the slab clean, and retake the photos.

    Do you know how many bloody photos I took before I discovered that fact? I'm tired......

    The fact that it lacks a green bean......that, although there are many hits to the face, they lack such in the fields. The reverse is almost flawless.......the luster is booming and the hint of color is evident. :)

    I don't think those are all hits to the face, sure some are .
    I say some are luster crack too .
    Theses coins came struck snow white from the mint, kind of reminds me of some of thoses snow white morgans ..
