***************************
**********UPDATE*********** JUST GRADED MS64....surely netted for muted luster/over dipped image...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....image
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
image

seller image shot in a flip...her dress creaminess caught my eye

    Looks pretty good to me! Very pristene surfaces and an excellent strike.

    Yes, nice strike and virtually no marks - which is unusual.....and the luster doesn't look quite right.
    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!

    It has 66 details but I don't like the dull surfaces either.

    Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. πŸ€ πŸΊπŸ‘

    it cartwheels nice
    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...image

    nice coin and very good images especially for a point and shoot. Do you use any lights or just the flash?

    Well done!
    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 image

    I agree! VERY nice strike. I would have thought GEM BU, minimally.

    Great example, at any rate.
