  • NTC slab. Looks like a MS coin but I wouldn't trust it unless you have the coin in person to look at.

    I couldn't even attempt to give a grade opinion with these images. Too many issues to consider.
    Besides any rub on the high points, there could be hairlines and just about anything else.

    I'm sure even considering the holder, it's in it isn't a cheap coin. I could not/would not make
    a buying decision based on these images. Just my opinion here.

    The big "carbon spot" in the shield + the one around the eagle's head takes it out of MS-64 territory. Even if you can dip that off there will be a bright spot or a bright coin. Both of which shout, "This is NOT an MS-64."

    Beyound that you have to look at the cheek of Ms. Liberty. If it is dull and rubbed, you won't get any more than MS-62 from the major services on a good day. My guess? AU-58 to MS-61. This is a nice looking coin, but it looks like a marginal item in the Mint State category.
