    Scratch on the neck or holder?

    Looks by the photo that it's 61-62 if the scratch is on the coin, 64-65 if on the holder, but it's really impossible to accurately grade uncirculated coins by a photo.

    Yup the classic 58-62 depending on the day......... Although that scratch may have changed the equation, looking forward to the posted grade.

    the angle of the light makes that faint scratch look like the grand canyon. My WAG is 62.

    58, but I must add your photos don't make it easy to be confident. They way they are lit make it difficult to judge luster and wear -- the single most important feature in grading AU/MS coins, IMO.

    Very little wear, dark toning and the one distracting scratch brings it down to a 62-63 imo .

    Doesn't "very little wear" knock it out of any UNC grade?

    I know i might be in the minority here but something tells me it's in a 64 holder.

    I was going to say 63 details scratched. I assume the mark in the earlier pic wasn't on the coin. If so that piece might get into a 3 holder with our host. Opinions?

    Wow I think it a nice coin. May need a little help on the dark side looking at that last pic.

    So......what year is the holder? 04 to 07? Were they conservative or loose back then?

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
