I have 5 1904O and 5 1881S and are about the same grade and all appear proof like but you guys are the experts and I appreciate this forum so im posting one coin that I think is a 66 however I only have one eye so let me know. Thanks, M1
It's hard to tell from the pictures. You need to take your photos from straight on. That being said I would say MS64.
Very nice coin. I don't know if it's the lighting or not, but it seem to be missing details in the very center of obverse at ear and hair details above ear. They don't seem to be missing from wear though. I had a hard time finding any bagmarks on this one. Very nice indeed.
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't grade MS-66, but the luster is going to be an important factor in that grade. Also, the pictures need to be from striaght on.
There is no way in Hades that coin grades 66. It may get a 65 if you bribe the graders, but I like it best at 64.
