Sensational reverse, passable obverse. NGC holder, and regrets for the scratches and glare.

    MS 64. Not quite enough lustre for a 65. Nice coin! image And I like your avatar too.

    I believe that it's entirely possible for this coin to be a 65. The detail is excellent (pretty full and crisp) for the issue and the color appears fantastic. I would say that the luster in-hand is far better than the photo implies. A very solid piece. If not a 65, it's a high-end 64. If in a 64 holder, I'd crack it and resubmit.

    The color is actually much better, but it subdues some of the luster, which is only marginally better than the photo indicates. Grade TK in a couple of hours.

    MS-64.

    I think that there is a spot on the bridge of the Indian's nose that would take out of the "PQ" category or give it a shot at an upgrade.
