[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2477970, member: 1892"]Let's look at this not from a "value" standpoint, but from the perspective of where it'd stand in the hierarchy in a slab. It's a lovely coin, nice pullaway toning on the obverse, well-struck, excellent reverse, but even in the oversharpened obverse images I see enough skritchiness to doubt it'd exceed MS64.
