I was visiting some old friends at the bank the other day and the color of this coin caught my attention. Pictures aren’t the greatest but comments welcome.
I of course suffer from owner bias and can picture the coin in a 64 holder. My pictures don’t help but in person the cheeks and surfaces are very clean and the coin has very nice color. I bought the coin 10+ years ago as part of a bullion deal. The coin has been sitting in the bank the entire time and this was the first time I’ve looked at it in all those years.

Nice looking - MS64

If the coin looks like obverse pictures 1 and 3, my guess is MS62. If it looks like obverse picture 2, I’ll go with 63+ as a minimum. In other words, as a whole, the pictures don’t allow for meaningful grade guesses.

Impossible to tell from those photos with any reasonable degree of certainty. I learn towards MS62.
Based on the least flattering pic, I agree with the MS62 grade.

I like it at 64.
Looking at the pictures, I do not see it better than a 62....But those are pictures... Cheers, RickO
solid 64, nice.

63, but as others have said, tough photos to grade from.
