    Very nice frost on the reverse.
    I can't grade from pics but this looks high MS

    hard from that picture but might be details for cleaning.

    The lighting on the photos give it a PVC-like hue. But I'd go with a minimum of MS65 as I don't see any noteworthy marks nor any frost breaks.

    Well struck and free of detracting marks. The fields look real clean.
    MS 65

    No GSC logo?

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    Can't grade it from those pics. If I had to guess I'd guess 64 if it hasn't been cleaned. If I could judge the coin better my guess might change.

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    My evaluation, from those pictures, noting that I cannot determine any cleaning indicators... I would place it as
    MS66....Cheers, RickO

    MS-65+ but I'd like to see a little more luster in hand.

    It's a beautiful coin but I think the strike will keep it out of MS-66.

    nothing particularly exiting about the strike but lo! absolutely no contact marks.!! I think that is why it got an ms67
    and is now for sale right now on flea bay.

    A couple of tiny ticks on the front shoulder area. A few grazes on the back hip with one of them extending into the belly area.
