Would you grade this MS 64?

I stole this pic from ebay. It is the Numistrust that I mentioned in my other post.

The "image" looks MS64. But, images frequently don't show rub or hairlining. The coin could be a cleaned AU and, since it's a bit tougher date in a garbage slab, it probably is.

Looks like a 64 to me. Not all 64's have luster so if it lacks luster that is not an automatic assumption that it was cleaned. The eagle on the reverse looks frosty from your scan. I have a few PCGS 64's that have that same "dry" no lusterous-but-frosty look.
Looks good to me.

It looks like an old dipper that the toning got a little too heavy on. There is a white stain at 12:00 on the reverse, and the obverse has a mottled look like maybe if it was rotated in the right light it would show the white spots. JMO

IMO, it's too hard to tell from that pic.

Looks like a good chance at 64. I see you are the high bidder, so I guess you have made up your mind. Centsles, the seller, is very good about honoring his return privilege, so you have that out available, if the coin is a disappointment.

Perhaps, this is a somewhat safer route:

Thanks DCAM ... I will keep an eye on that one in case I dont win the one I already bid on.

No, sorry. The luster is poor. It would slab at 61 or 62 at PCGS.

Most of these NTC coins have the same issue.

Technically it looks 64 but the question is how bad the blantant old dip has hurt it. It's a p*o*s.

Cosmos66- Hope you will let us know how you find the coin.

Would you grade this MS 64?
