    1. Edit to 65. Too big a price jump. Looks 66 but my guess is 65.

    An easy 65 or better. Fields are clean. A no-brainer for a 65 with a CAC sticker.

    The hit to the cheek probably caps it at 65. Your $5 Indian was a 65+, so maybe this one is too? :)

    I'm at 65 too

    MS65 sounds about right unless there are scuffs or hairlines that aren't showing up in the pics.

    I think this to be worthy of a 65+. Beautiful coin.

    AU58 (cause minor wear bottom right of field on rev) or MS65

    1. No wear, attractive luster, few marks, all minor.

    Ain't no way that coin goes AU anything

    Unlikely but possible. This could be percived as wear.

  • koynekwestkoynekwest Posts: 10,048 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The 65 crowd for me.

  • Eldorado9Eldorado9 Posts: 2,478 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Could this be an AU-58? It's a really nice coin regardless. I'll go against the grain and say AU-58+ If it's deemed uncirculated, then 65.

  • FlatwoodsFlatwoods Posts: 4,245 ✭✭✭✭✭

    when I looked at the pics my mind immediately said 66.

  • pursuitoflibertypursuitofliberty Posts: 7,201 ✭✭✭✭✭

    My mind says 66 also

    Of course, my mind is questionable. Two brain cells left, one's lost, the other is trying to find him!

    Nice coin and grades plus cac. My impression from the pics was that it was not totally original.

  • rickoricko Posts: 98,724 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Late to the game...but I did guess 65... as did the majority. Nice coin indeed. Cheers, RickO

  • BryceMBryceM Posts: 11,844 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Really nice coin.

    Just FYI, people can figure out the assigned grade if you show the barcode in your photos. ;)

    Be pretty strange for a coin to wear like that, no?

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    I did it the old fashioned way and just found it in Coinfacts. That TV looks slightly different in shade but the not so obvious scars are there. Beautiful coin.

    No, it was me. There is another one with a scar on the cheek that is darker. I was confused.
    I heard you can make YouTube videos that will post here though I haven't yet tried it.
