    64?

    Here's a case where the grade doesn't matter. It's natural looking and I like it.
    There is some dark grey area on the hair above the ear that makes me question rub. It looks that way around the eye, too. Also on the eagles right leg there is an area where it might be thrown into the AU arena, but otherwise, it is strong enough for MS 64, in my humble opinion.

    Nice lookin' coin.

    Surfaces are 65ish, but whether it gets the nod as a 64 or 65 is going to depend on how powerfully that underlying luster comes through that toning. I'v guessing 64.

    Looks solid 64 and further proof that sometimes good coins end up in bad plastic!
    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    My first impression was MS64 with a shot at 65....but then I saw the rim chunks and doubt it would go higher than 63....at least that's where my money would be if I wanted to buy it.

    Initial reaction from the photo's, 64 possibly 65.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Not rim chunks...just the little plastic tabs that hold the coin in place.

    Those "chips" on the reverse rim at 10:00 and 2:00 look like they are on the ring securing the coin in the holder, not on the coin itself.

    I will go with the 64/65 crowd. Looks fairly mark free (not sure what is going on under the E, if it is a die crack or ??) , nice strike, tough to tell on the luster and how much the cheek marks show from the photos though. Nice coin!

    My initial reaction said AU58 and the photo could be hiding hairlines. If there are few hairlines then I'm with everyone else. MS63/64.
