Another raw purchase. I loved the strike and relatively mark free surfaces on this one. Not a bad snag for $60. GTG if you like:

I grade the image MS61

Nice sharp strike. I'm thinking 64. Luster seems a bit subdued....maybe it is just the image.

has the strike of a 65 but with those images, there is no luster present

so i'll gtg ms63 from those images

Luster in hand is about par with the pics- so I think 63 is the max for this one. I was still drawn to it's natural look and details!

Image grading is a whole new can of worms

The hair detail above the knot is excellent, feather rachis is strong, liberty is good for the '13, detail on the front leg is strong, mane has good detail, and I don't see any pepper. All is mint, except the luster. VERY NICE!

Looks like it is filled. I think that is fairly common on this issue.

Filled MM on this particular date is common to the point that unfilled MM's are not always easy to find.

Amazing strike makes it look like a 67. EDS (early die state). The image shows very little luster which would concern me just a bit.

i am thinking EDS as well. it is unusually clean and crisp. the surfaces appear so soft but being devoid of luster is odd

i'd love professional images to study those surfaces

Sounds like a line from a numismatic softcore:

"Excuse me, miss? I'm a studio photog who dabbles in coins...
I couldn't help notice your strike - um, I mean - striking details ...
I'd love to shoot professional images of you, and study those surfaces ...
maybe afterwards I could fill-in your MM"

The first pic was from the seller. My pics aren't much better, but here goes:
