    63 shot at 64...hard to judge with photos that big due to visibility of minor flaws.

    You should make the photos smaller, let's say 700X700. It's very difficult to grade from such large photos. At the very least, the entire coin needs to fit on the page so that you can see all of the obverse or reverse without having to scroll around.

    On my MAC I'm only seeing 1/2 of two man hole covers... I'm gonna guess it's MS62/AU58.

    This is an example of a coin that is most likely technically a 64 (maybe 65), but the awsome toning catapults it to a 67.

    The reverse on the "67" may appear to be flawless but it's as smooth as a baby's back side.imageimage

    Compare the Vancouver that I posted, to the 67 with great toning. The strike on the 67 is far softer in many respects to the OP coin. For example: On the obverse - The definition of the hair and cheekbones as well as the shirt collar. Even more evident on the reverse - with the definition of the frontiersman's beard, face, and coon hat as well as the musculature in his legs and the fort in the background. The difference in the quality of the two strikes is tremendous. The miniscule ticks seem to be about the same.

    For the record, regardless of the incredibly weak strike of the 67 that BS posted, I would sure LOVE to own that coin with that gorgeous eye appealing obverse color!!!

    64+, maybe 65 is my guess.

    My guess is PCGS 64. I don't like the business behind the head on the obverse.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
  • relicsncoinsrelicsncoins Posts: 8,103 ✭✭✭✭✭
    MS63 is my guess.

    I'm gonna go with 65. Its probably just from looking at the huge pics, but the marks under the A in States and the stuff over the 1825 and 1925 jumps out at me.

    I'll pay AU money for any of them.

    Hey Broadstruck, my friend, I was dead sober at the time of my assessment of the Vancouvers. Now that it's after 5 pm, I am now imageimageimageimage
