    I am going to throw down a 63 . . . just due to the action on the cheek. I like the coin . . . . and could see it higher, but the super reverse just can't counter the bit of stuff working on the cheek and right field . . .

    Nice coin . .

    Hate being first!

    58 maybe a +. Big difference luster wise between the different pictures.

    62 obverse with a 65 reverse.... tough one. I will stick with 62

    Yes, the cap and cheek, etc. on obverse limit my grade to a 62, and agree the reverse is very nice!

    Reverse appears MS, but the obverse seems to have light rub. I will go with AU58+.

    AU58, was going to call it 63, and then looked a little closer. Nice quarter.

    The reverse is nice but the obverse looks a little worse. I would still call it a 63+

    Looks like an old school 58 based on the obverse, but probably in a modern 63 holder.

    Trueview has me at 63/64 your images 58. I’ll go with the middle number and guess 63 final answer.

    Thanks for guessing. Those that went with 58 were spot on! With the coin in hand, I'd imagine the light rub on the left and right obverse (circled in blue) resulted in the AU grade. It is pretty though :smiley:

    Reminiscent of the "AU64" coins that forum member Broadstruck used to post years ago.
    He owned some of the nicest sliders around, and the GTG frequently had a lot of 63/64 guesses.

    That is one of those great 58’s. Seems like we just had a thread about this.

    They were tough on it. I would have thought it would go higher because of the reverse.

    I see a bit of wear just above the ear, but thought they would let it “slide”.

    You were right on, 58 it is. I seen that but thought it would go higher because of the reverse.

    The reverse will very very rarely "carry" the coin.
    The reverse is seen as a possible detractor and not as a plus.
    One of the few exceptions would be a reverse Morgan toner which might get a bump from 62 to 63 if it has bag, textile, or crescent toning.
    But then the point is moot: the color will sell the coin and not the grade.
