    Pics aren’t great for gtg but looks 65 to me.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Nice coin, dude! I was just cherry picking Walkers today. Lol. Is your coin the " double neck" variety? ;)

    Pics. Too blurry for me to make a judgement.

    Looks super clean but given the spread between 66 and 67 I’d had to say 66.

    Edited for spelling

    I like the obverse.... The reverse not so much. Pictures are a tad blurry, but 65 might be fair. Cheers, RickO

    Good detail for the issue. Looks like nice luster on the obv pic. 65+

  • MFeldMFeld Posts: 15,008 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I grade it blurry and 64. It’s impossible to make meaningful grade guesses based on those pictures.

    No more than 64. Obverse field seems to show fingerprint marks. Reverse is ugly. Photos are not sharp enough to make a real judgement.

    All glory is fleeting.

    65, looks like a decent strike for a 42-S

    Sorry about pics, sellers. Tried to enlarge a little, but was too much. Should have it sat and will repost with grade. Jim

    Looks like it may have a partial full thumb.

    65

    I will throw a 65 at it, but it is just a guess as the photos are blurry.

    OK, it's PCGS MS64. I will still post better pics when it arrives Monday, if it makes it.

    That’s an excellent looking 64.

    Beautiful near gem. I think that the two abrasions below the T in Liberty are the only things holding it back.

    I think pretty much the entire reverse is holding it back.
