Oh my, what a beauty! That looks like it came straight from its double mint set. As far as the grade, I have to ponder more...
Thinking 64 . Dick I know that's a hit on his lapel , but the part that looks white is the slab , right ?
This poll and http://www.cointalk.com/threads/guess-the-grade-586.238546/ will be closing tonight. Time for a break for the holidays (plural).
Again, very nice strike and not booming luster, but pretty good. There are a couple small nicks noticeable. Again, I would give this a 65, but it has a couple spots. However, this one also has some real nice eye appeal (i.e. color) going for it. Maybe it is not a candidate for a +, but NGC gave this one a 65. With those colors, I guess I have to agree.

Congrats ldhair . Dang I sure went out with a bang , both wrong . Had the right grades but on the wrong coins .
Against all these guys , I'll take 2nd anyday . Heck being in the top 10 is pretty impressive . Thanks again Dick for a fun and educational year , and hope everyone has a great Holiday season . See ya next year .
The pictures made the fields look worse than they actually are. The slab pic is probably closer to how it looks in hand.
Didn't think I would ever make it back to the top. You guys are really good at this. I reduced the size of the image to grade this one and added a point for the color. The image did a great job of showing how pretty the coin is.
