I really like this coin. I raised the brightness on these images a hair, but in hand the coin is this color with more luster than the images show.

    If there's additional luster there, that one must be really droolworthy, 'cause she sure is beautiful in the picture.

    Look at the loop of the 9. It is circular, not oval.

    Dimitri - It is in a PCGS holder at MS64RB. It is a touch under-graded I think (maybe a candidate for a +). I also have the MS-65RB from the Canadiana collection and I think this coin is a little bit the better of the two because it has more of the original luster.
