Saw this at FUN and liked it - will post the answer after the Boeing show tomorrow.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a coin in hand is worth a thousand pictures.

Thanks to all who played - it was fun to see the range of guesses.

I'll say MS66 - looks pretty clean.

roadrunner · January 16, 2015 10:35AM

I'm tempted to call it a MS67 (or higher) but not sure what that is on the eagle's breast. Looks like someone kicked the air out of 'em.

MS66+ is my guess. Wonderful looking Saint. Very little stacking friction on the obverse which looks 67 by itself.

410a · January 16, 2015 10:46AM

Nice coin.......MS 65

lasvegasteddy · January 16, 2015 10:50AM

au58 right for rub on knee

AUandAG · January 16, 2015 10:52AM

She has a headband with a light? Looks like Wonder Woman!

but, it is sure nice,,,,,can't give it a grade but would not mind owning that example!

lasvegasteddy · January 16, 2015 10:57AM

probably a 65 obverse with a 66 reverse
i'll stay conservative at 65

awesome and beautiful example there
huge congrats

AnkurJ · January 16, 2015 10:58AM

66/66+

Walkerfan · January 16, 2015 11:01AM

I don't see any rub and it looks clean. I will conservatively say MS 65.

Walkerguy21D · January 16, 2015 11:02AM

I've only shopped for 64's, and this coin blows away any I've seen by a mile, so it must be higher than 65....

illini420 · January 16, 2015 11:11AM

Looks like an MS66 in that pic. Not too shabby!

crypto79 · January 16, 2015 11:13AM

64+ common but nice

Baley · January 16, 2015 11:18AM

spectacular coin, minimum MS66, probably CAC and probably MS66+.
Like RR, I want to say 67, but for the aforementioned forehead and eagle's breast, the sun looks nice but I'd like to see a clear picture of it to be sure

ms70 · January 16, 2015 11:30AM

64

Kove · January 16, 2015 12:07PM

It looks 66, but knowing you, it's got to be a 64

TopographicOceans · January 16, 2015 12:14PM

65

rhedden · January 16, 2015 12:14PM

MS66+ or MS67 from the photos.

Now someone has to guess AU58, or it wouldn't be the US coin forum.

Lakesammman · January 16, 2015 12:22PM

<< It looks 66, but knowing you, it's got to be a 64 >>

WTF??

TPRC · January 16, 2015 12:59PM

66

stealer · January 16, 2015 1:02PM

6+

fcloud · January 16, 2015 1:08PM

65+

Boosibri · January 16, 2015 1:32PM

66

HighRelief · January 16, 2015 2:59PM

I am thinking 65

Swampboy · January 16, 2015 3:23PM

64

lostincoins · January 16, 2015 4:01PM

Yup it is nice and it is a MS 6

Bullsitter · January 16, 2015 6:35PM

65

shish · January 16, 2015 7:43PM

MS66+ or MS67

coinkat · January 16, 2015 8:00PM

66- nice coin. The fields look terrific

BloodMan · January 16, 2015 10:03PM

66

TwoSides2aCoin · January 16, 2015 10:19PM

When you post a coin purchase, it's usually a doozie. That's not a guess, btw…. just a compliment.

nwcoast · January 17, 2015 12:44AM

Looks a LOT better than my 64.
I'm guessing 65 OGH and undergraded.

BigMoose · January 17, 2015 1:17AM

Agree with stealer--66+ and could go 67.

ricko · January 17, 2015 1:27AM

MS66....nice Saint...... Cheers, RickO

SeattleSlammer · January 17, 2015 6:14AM

Strong 67 or I'll be a monkey's uncle!

DeepCoin · January 17, 2015 7:12AM

My initial thought was 66, but I could be convinced 67... especially if trying to be tricky on the coin shown

TopographicOceans · January 17, 2015 8:32AM

I got the first digit correct

vplite99 · January 17, 2015 9:06AM

Thanks for the post, very interesting. I would have guessed 2 grades lower, but I spend so little time at this end of the grading bell curve.

Ablinky · January 17, 2015 9:14AM

Very impressive piece.

Bochiman · January 17, 2015 9:16AM

I'm going to take a leap of faith and guess MS67

asheland · January 17, 2015 12:51PM

I guessed before I saw the slab.

Nice coin!

Timbuk3 · January 17, 2015 3:00PM

Congratulations !!!

Treashunt · January 17, 2015 8:52PM

wow congrats

beautiful

Walkerfan · January 17, 2015 11:55PM

Nice superb gem!! I'm sorry but I wanted to say at least 66 but didn't have the nerve. I certainly won't dispute that being a 67. VERY clean and smooth with a nice strike. GREAT PICKUP!

nwcoast · January 18, 2015 12:36AM

What a clean gem!
Congratulations on the aquisition!
Gorgeous example of this timeless and beautiful design.
