    Probably MS63. Those little things are tough to grade.

    Sweet little coin.

    I also say MS63.

    AU58, but a very nice AU58.

    I give it a "better than mine" grade.

    MS62 sounds good.

    58. Looks like some rub on the breast and knee

    MS64

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I think it's nicer than NGC does but MS coins are tough TOUGH TOUGH!! for me.

    I'd go 63 on the obverse and 55 on the reverse. Just too many digs on the reverse to seem mint state.

    So I'd probably market grade it as a 62.

    I have a beauty just like it in an NGC 64 holder.

    Now I'll go check the link and see what a fool I've made of myself. image
    Go well.

    It is a nice coin that I think would look better in person. Perhaps MS 64

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I think most everyone, even the grading services have a bit of trouble with these little guys. image

    Undoubtedly the coin has obvious rub on the highpoints, esp the high point of the knee/leg area, the luster is broken through the fields and appears only full in the legend and recessed drapery areas. Quite a few ticks in the fields, esp the reverse. Technically this is an AU58 just like that MS62 (AU58) Koshkarian 1837 dime we talked about that brought MS64 money due to color. The rub on this coin is far less than was on the Koshkarian MS62 dime for whatever that matters in "market" grading.

    Actual grade? Anything from AU58 to MS64. What did PCGS or NGC assign to this........

    I'll SWAG the AU58 because the luster just doesn't seem to cut it overall.

    Aw shucks.....there just isn't "enough" rub on the coin to justify less than a MS62 grade. I change my vote! image

    Given that you've had to magnify it 1000x to see the little thing,
    I'd say MS-65.

    I'm thinking MS62. Just not clean enough for a 63 IMO.
