Picked up this little lady at dealer set up - Nothing else really captured my eye - but there is a lot of material. The coin has veery nice luster with a faint rainbow crescent on the bottom of the obverse which is very pleasing - wanna shoot for a grade? I'll post it tomorrow

Nice coin, Frank. I will guess it grades MS-64.

64 PL?

She's shiny- but she doesn't make PL status - keep trying

MS63, but pretty...

Well - like several of you, because of some chatter on the obverse I would've given this coin a 64 - which would've been a very respectable grade. Instead the coin resides in a PCGS MS65 holder, possibly because of the swath of toning on the obverse, which gives the coin a very nice air of originality. Thanks for looking in!
