Tough picture to see all the surfaces very well. I will guess 64 maybe a bump to 65 for eye appeal from what I can see.
Looks like a small hit on liberty's cheek and would probably keep the coin from a higher grade.

MrEureka

Great original look. Could be anything from 63 to 68. Does that help?

Tough to say with such a big image, but my guess is MS-64.

Is that a die clash below "United States" ?

Stunning coin. You gotta get these jewels certified and then let Mark Feld help you sell 'em.

The toning looks funky to me.

What hit on the cheek?

Don't micro grade!

SethChandler

Looks like the real deal, slab it!

I thought a small hit on a small coin is equal to a large hit on a large coin.

I can see what looks to me like a hit.
I would imagine the tpg's would use a glass on a coin so small when grading it

Could it be a proof? There's awfully good detail, and it sure looks like the rim is nicely squared off. Proof or uncirculated, though, I love that toning!

IMO, that nick is so small it would only come into play at the MS69 level - ie: for a classic coin, never!

The coin appears to have wonderful attributes, but cannot be graded off a picture as there could be hairlines or a cleaning that can only be detected in person. Nor can one assess the luster accurately off a scan.
