    Nice! I would have thought the marks between the feathers and OF would have knocked it down.

    I would have thought MS-65, R&B for sure. My debate was with a possible MS-66. The two scratches noted around the word “OF” on the obverse probably made the difference.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    No surprises to me. The Indian's face is without contact marks and the eye appeal of the coin is good. The 5s I've seen have nice eye appeal, with a small tick mark or two in either the obverse field or on the ONE CENT on the reverse.

    I was low on that one.... I tend to be a bit critical on picture grading... And when I miss, it is often one higher than my guess. Oh well... Not looking for a job.... Cheers, RickO

    @jfriedm56 , I suggest in the future if your coin has a True View, post that with blackening out the cert number. The quality of your photos is not good, and does your coins an injustice.

    Kind of rude. I’ve asked this forum how to post a TV, but have yet to receive a response. I won’t be posting anymore. Now I understand why people get turned off from here, and I’m a knowledgeable numismatist of 60 years. Thanks for playing.

    Really nice , well graded. Like!
    Missed this, but I'd have been at 65rb had you posted the TV. 64RB if slab, and 63rb with your original scan.
    I'm sure someone can help you master the TV steps to post GTG's in future, it's not difficult.

    FWIW, Re your vent, please don't take anyone wrongly, @winesteven is a gentleman. Most of us are older, over 50-60, and have been thru the cool decades to current times which makes us more irritable and quirky lately.
