    Should grade MS70 with SGS.

    Both photos are massively blurry on my monitor.
    When in doubt, don't.

    MS63/MS64.....the obverse scan is really blurry so this one is a little tougher than most image

    edited to add: maybe it warrants a 4 due to a slightly weaker obverse strike?
    still looks great to me, but then again, its not a tough date for gems in the series.

    more of a photo skills test. It's not hard for the PCGS graders, who can grade with their eyes shut, and do.

    The obverse strike could be better for a 37-D. The hair above the braid and LIBERTY are often seen somewhat stronger. Their is also a hit just below the indian's chin. On the plus side, the luster is very nice. I love the frosty appearace. The surfaces are also clear of any spots.

    I'll say it's graded 67, but I'd only call it 66.3 image

    Interesting, the obvers appears MS-65, while the reverse looks AU-58 with

    what appears to be rub on the front leg and tail as well as hind quarters.
