    Its hard to grade with the lighting, but thats a great score! Looks to be in the MS range.

    Excellent coin. It's hard to find that date with so little wear as that. Lots of luster, too!
    The scratch is prominent enough to preclude a grade, but I agree that the details are MS.

    AU-BU or MS60 seems about right

    Very nice coin for the date! So it has a scratch, it's still a beauty!! Congatsimage That's one I need and have been holding out till I find a nice one. Thanks for sharing...

    From the pics, which look to show several light scratches on the Indian, and the marks on the buff pointed out already, I would guess MS62. I do know this is a tough date to locate above F, so nice pickup!

    Not sure if you have looked already but FYI there is two repunched mintmark varieties listed in the Cherrypickers' Guide for this coin.

    Improved pics. In hand the reverse 'scratch' blends in better only slightly visible..camera really makes it look stronger than it looks in hand.

    I hate to say it, but only just.

    Your lighting or white balance is off, and the picture still looks dead. (i.e. no luster, no life) image

    There is no "AT" or "NT". We only have "market acceptable" or "not market acceptable.

    IMHO... without the painful staple scratch ( from some impatient person who needs a slap up side that back of the head) looks like a solid 63 to me... unfortunately, a recent scratch like that will likely put this coin in a genuine holder... such a shame... my favorite date...
