Let me know... thanks!
Thanks for all the inputs. Did get this for a premium price. A dollar below PCGS price guide. I liked the tone and color, something in my price range. I thought this coin could be a 63+ or 64

Nice toning, and I don't see any obvious rub....possibly a few light scratches on the obverse under the tone.....MS63, with a + for eye appeal?
Could go 64.
Based on the photo, I would say AU58. If luster is there and unbroken, then it could be in an MS62 or MS63 holder.
Should be an ms63 or 64.
May come back au58 though.

64 FH
Might even be 65 FH!!!
Did I win?
WoW, modern Full Head. I do not think the grade inflation pushes this coin to FH
yet
MS63
I liked the old Bowers and Ruddy "Rare Coin Review."
"BU rub."
Terrific coin and 64 does not seem unreasonable
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Strikes me as the type of coin that would come back 58 from the pictures. Toning like that can hide a lot and I wager the graders would err on the cautious side.
55
62.

Toning on this coin either completely helps or hurts.
The "hurt" factor - blocks the mint lister.
The "help" factor - enhances the look of the strike. 1920's SLQ's are known for weak strikes.
Toning probably holds this coin to 63 FH.
I collect them, I have had gems with half a date. That WC coin is a below average strike. Your coin is a fully stuck piece for the date (IMHO) I think what I see is an MS 63 coin FH. Then of course I shorted the DJIA at 16000 so what do I know? I know I like your coin. Regards, Sol

I need to see the coin in hand. 1919 and 1920 Ps I've seen are often fully struck, except for not being a " J Cline blessed 100% full head." Strike on this coin is just fair. Do not see all details in inner shield. Not a lot of thigh detail.
To me, the image shows wear on the sash below Miss Liberty's breasts and wear on the chain mail on her left breast. PCGS doesn't think so, which is why I'd need to see the coin in hand. Toning is neutral. Don't have a clue re the coin's eye appeal.
