    A swing and a miss probably for me. I would normally say details on a coin with pictures that look like this. Weak strike and lusterless around the center of the coin, but you can see it peeking around the edges. Oh well.

    66rb wouldn't surprise me.
    I'll bet the luster is much nicer than it appears in the photo.

    I was thinking 64rb. I am not a big fan of rb, like r much better. Isn't that a little bit of a take away above the 5? Also I see a little action by right shoulder.

    Not very often you too high of a grade for the coin, but you are 2 for 2 tonight. Great strike and strike, and the luster is not a problem. The couple small nicks might keep it from a 66 but they are not that bad. . At first, I thought it deserved a 65, but the more I look at this, the more I think the spotting is why PCGS only gave it a 64. I would guess they probably got it right.

    And here are Lehigh's pictures of the same coin.

    I would of thought the color would knock it up a bit .

    That's one tough 64 grade, IMO.

    But whatever, i'd pay 65rb money all day long for that (and I suspect it sold for even more than that).

    I'm maintaining that 50% average... Still an 'F'

    Not if you grade on a curve. :)

    Dang, I was hoping luster and eye appeal would push it over.
