Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
Why don't you put up a dartboard app with the different grades scattered around(don't forget the various details grades possible). I'll throw at it and have just as much of a chance of anyone grading from your pictures!
I'm a gonna go with a 63...you can zoom in on the photo and really see the detail. A lot of contact marks and the one over the eye is severe. Slice in the neck as well as minor marks across all areas of the coin. Without seeing it in hand tough to tell as others have mentioned. Nice photo BTW!
MS63.... Picture grade.... Coin grade could be different.... I think we have a new acronym CGCBD.... We know pictures can be drastically misleading... so when doing a GTG from pictures, we add CGCBD....instant wiggle room... Cheers, RickO
It’s nearly impossible to grade this with any accuracy from the pics. From the hit we can clearly see, I think it’s limited to 64. Maybe the photo is hiding some wear or a cleaning, who knows? For an 02-S it is certainly worth submitting.
Looks suspiciously like photos from an oft-mentioned purveyor of problem coins on eBay. Nice looking, but could have a lot hidden in the flatness of the photos.

If it's genuine, it's a 5. Could even be a 6 but the gash over the eye may hurt it.

MS-64 or 63 depending on face abrasions that are not clear in the photo.
64

I'm thinking 64
A very nice coin. From the pic, I would say AU58. The hair looks a little AUish. Would need to see some better pics to accurately determine though.
You are probably about right. The hair wear or weak strike around the ear may limit it to 58. Nice looking coin though.
I'm thinking 64. I think the contact mark over the eye is the limiting factor. The reverse of this coin is gorgeous... 2-3 marks?

Contact marks and the eye gash put this one at 62. You have an excellent photo but I find it hard to read, so there’s my guess.
MS 63 your vision is drawn to the major contact points.
I like it as a 63
Gorgeous if it were to grade a 64 it would get a CAC sticker for sure. It looks between 64-65
Looks like a Frankenstein 64 to me. Or a pro footballer.
I'm kind of thrown off by the "non-standard" photo, and don't want to guess. Almost looks like a black-and-white rendition.
Weakness over the ear. Scrape above the left eye of Liberty (eagle is fine).
MS67. If reflective and colorful, MS68.
58 to 62 depending on the mood.

I'm with 1Mike1; 58 to 63 if genuine. If it's a 65 or better why isn't in a slab by now? If it's a crack out why?
Where's my magnet? I ain't sayin until I see better pics. Peace Roy

Don't quote me on that.

I agree. Nice coin
Collector, occasional seller
Nose gash, above eye gash, denticle gash lower neck and scratches in field I would feel hold it to a 63.

64 shot 65
MS63

A few in this thread will soon feel slight embarrassment.
The hit above the eye makes it no better than an MS 63 IMO.
I kind of agree. 65-/4+
Photos updated. Not sure what I did when I saved the files. New photos are good....I think.

Thanks! This one does not match any Vam listed....I need to double check.
I am standing by my grades outside of adding I'd drop four or five points now that I've seen your better photos.
New pics show a lot of hits. The rim impressions on the brow is crushing. Lots of field hits, too. That rim ding is bad, too. 63
