***************************
**********UPDATE*********** JUST GRADED MS64....surely netted for muted luster/over dipped
...i love the details anyway and minimal hits or scatter...it's clean
***************************
ok so my best so far imaging with a mere lil point and shoot kodak
top image is mine...bottom is sellers
i gave her a quick dip n rinse as i was a lil concerned over a growth on the back of the eagles feather "in seller's image"
"now she's all safe"
common coin in a better state i'd think
any grade guesses would be appreciated....
as i strayed a lil when i bought her as the sellers image really made her look like a better then average for minor abrasions or hits
my image...a lil cream tinted over actual in hand
seller image shot in a flip...her dress creaminess caught my eye

Perhaps it's just the lighting or photography, but both photos seem to display very flat luster - I don't see any evidence of
cartwheels - but perhaps the die imparted a satin finish to the coin. My gut feel is 'too good to be true' and I'm hesitant to
give it a high grade, or any grade w/o seeing it in hand, but would like to hear what others think.
And if it comes back in one of the mega-grade holders, I will apologize most profusely!
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

that halo of luster that surrounds that lady is there
it's just not one of those in full mint bloom frosty lusterous types that are 2-3 points up on the scale
dipped out...hard to say
i did a quick one and rinse to neutralize what looked hazardous to the back of the eagles wing
it definitely won my vote to do so
thanks for all the replies...everyone of them too...

thought for sure this would be my 1st genuine or no grade
but it squeaked in....YAYYY
<< <i>nice coin and very good images especially for a point and shoot. Do you use any lights or just the flash? >>
a dining room overhead light is all....no flash...i ran out of bulbs and have my powder buried...
I'm guessing the lack of crisp luster kept it from a higher grade, but the strike and mark free surfaces sure look nice.
But since it did not come back in a mega grade holder, I don't have to apologize profusely

<< <i>Looks better than 64. >>
I agree! VERY nice strike. I would have thought GEM BU, minimally.
Great example, at any rate.
