GTG - we need something other than mint releases to discuss *Posted pic of grade in first post*

I know I'm tired of all the threads on the recent mint release so how about a grading from pics thread. What say you all on this dime.
Some good guesses with the majority in the 63/64 range, the closeups were taken by NGC and while very good at showing the details and strike they are very poor with displaying the luster. I've included a quick and dirty cell phone pic of the slab which while not as clear as the photo vision pics does give a better idea of the luster. I just got this back from ats, I had a small submission and included this coin because I've had it in an album for years and I could use it for a registry set. Personally I thought MS63 with a shot at 64 and FB but not a slam dunk on the designation. Overall I thought the graders were very harsh on my entire submission with grades a point lower than I thought on several like this coin. But hey ownership adds a point so maybe that's where its at lol. Thanks for the guesses.

64 full bands. I believe if the luster is there it could be a 65. But, I cannot judge the luster from these pics. Great strike by the way.

@coinbuf . We could talk politics but, as much fun as that would be most of us would not be here tomorrow.
You wouldn't by chance be related to coinbuf with two f's?

I'm in the 64/65 FB camp. Older grading it appears. No prongs in the photos.

As soon as I saw the pic I thought 64 FB so if it's a PCGS coin I'll stick with that. If it's from ATS I'd say 65 FB

AU 58/ 60 SB. The bands are just barely split at best. I remember when
FB/FSB meant they looked like the Micky D's golden arches.
66 FSB just my WAG

Well two of us got it.
Do we split the prize or flip for it?
