genuine.

 

I say 62, but the color does not help it.

 

Genuine or a 65.....

 

I really did not like the reverse so I punished it for that. I really wanted to put questionable, but not really sure. This was a toughie.

 

Agreed. I don't think for a second that that's natural toning, but NGC may not have seen it that way.

 

It's hard to tell based on a computer image (nothing like seeing the coin with your own set of eyes). I'm going to go with MS-65 grade. This piece is really beautiful. I'd sell it only if I was desperate. Great find!

 

Looks like a 63 to me. Nice toning on the obverse, ugly on the reverse.

 

64 and I think you did this one when you first started doing GTG

 

I personally like the toning and bet it's better looking in hand!

 

Yes, the colors really pop on this one. It is nearly mark free, and a decent strike. The luster is not the best I have seen, but it is there for sure. My guess is that they would not do it again, but they gave it a 64. I agree with the grade is they grade it. Standing will follow later.

 

That's odd, the one that had questionable color graded and the one that was thought to grade cleanly was in a Genuine holder

 

I don't think they'd put it through today either, still a cool toner.

 

I love the color. Nice coin.
