    I can't guess a grade, but IMHO it's beautiful!

    I like it, but I like darker toning as a sign of "originality".

    I couldn't guess the grade from the photos. Too small. As for appearance, I think it's quite pleasant.

    I like the type 5 design with the obverse motto and the beautiful, large reverse wreath.

    PR 64; a lovely coin.

    Tough to guess from the pictures. If there's nice luster/reflectivity under the toning, could go 64/64+.
    If not the grade would be limited to the top end of the 63 range.
    This is based on what I am seeing from the pics.

    A very eye-appealing coin. So far as grade goes, the photos are too small to make a call. It is probably a coin that has to be seen in hand because of the toning.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Near gem.

    The toning is very much in line with what happened to proof coins from that time. It is a very nice piece. The blotching in the toning on central are of the reverse seems to be due to some substance getting on the coin early on (body oil?). Overall, a very nice coin.

    I do believe your assessment of the reverse is very possible, but I am still in love with this simple piece of metal. :smile:
