ms65?

Solid coin in my book. The only mark I see is the little nick in the middle of the reverse. The strike on the Monticello pushes it into 7 range as far as I'm concerned.

I grade the picture a possible 66. Can't tell FS or not. And there are a few spots that look like the normal not-quite-fully-struck area on the cheek. But in case there is no luster there, AU-58 is not out of the question for the picture.

65? Ouch. Come on, look at the detail on the reverse. Virtually mark-free.

Another easy one! AU-50 FS! I can't believe anyone would think it would be above a 55!

hey Barracuda

i see what looks like friction on the obverse portrait and several areas that look like the tone has been disturbed or the luster broken. considering it's a softer alloy, i don't interpret the Monticello as struck that well, average only. not only is the sixth step barely visible, the fifth step is weak and bridged with other step areas exhibiting bridging. i also view that long vertical line just to the right of the third pillar as a scratch. the detail on the building is weak in my picture, i can barely make out the spindles for the railing. overall, i find the coin to be low on the eye-appeal meter.

sorry for the detailed critique, but you asked.

Alright then, I'm changing my vote:


68FS

I can't see the rub in my picture so I'm assuming it's not there. I can't make out the detail in the steps but I'm assuming they're all there based on the strength of the strike around it.

I'm also assuming that mark on the left of the 4 pillars is just from the picture and not on the coin. If it's a mark on the coin I'm going 65FS.

As far as the strike - it looks pretty strong to me, every line is well-defined and bold.
