Trying to decide what to do with this coin. Looking for some opinions.
Excuse the poor photos.
Thanks for your input. Decision I'm trying to make is whether to attempt an upgrade. I hate to lose the OGH as I tend to favor them. The coin actually looks nicer in hand than as my photo presents. In hand the coin has very smooth, flashy, reflective surfaces. Not sure what the technical term would be, but similar to a brilliant proof with mirror like surfaces. I think I'll keep it as is, and maybe shoot for a green/gold bean for now.

Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

but holey-moley, the strike for a 27-S is fantastic!
Actually, I can not remember ever seeing a strike that full on a 27-S
great coin!

Looks like some friction on the Buffs front leg..........crack it and resubmit raw
....oh yeah, edited to add, it's in a 58 holder.

I'd stay with MS64, but see no problem with 64+ either. Don't see it worse than 63 nor better than 65. 64 meets in the middle.
Coloration on these is tuff as well. If you're wondering what to do with this then more likely you were assigned a lower grade than expected.
If it's a liner coin that you've never been able to upgrade it's usually the case that the next hot dealer who handles it gets 'er done and pockets the booty.
I don't think that coin will upgrade to a 64+. It's worth more in the OGH--keep it there.
