Its no $150k coin, but I sure like it. These are sellers pics. I don't have it in hand yet. I expect it looks better in hand. What do you think? Feel free to guess the grade.

PCGS MS66

    I like it. Nice colors and sort of bullseye toning. Some minor issues on the sails. 64 maybe +.

    Nice one. Not easy to find one with nice color.

    Won't offer a grade opinion but it does have eye appeal to me.

    Many happy BST transactions

    I'm a bit confused by the toning on the obverse -- looks like it might have a few hairlines above the ship's sails.

    Presuming I'm seeing things, I'd guess 65.

    Either way, very attractive coin, and one I'd be happy to own. Thanks for sharing...Mike

    I like most of the toning, but it looks like it is black around the words, “United States of” on the reverse. That would be my one reservation. The grade is in the MS-64, 65 range.

    I think the lighting is poor. Thats why it looks dark on the reverse of the coin. Its a PCGS MS66.
