Don't know much about grading these, but it sure is sweet looking!

Very pretty, nice strike and toning. 64+

From what I'm seeing I wouldn't be surprised at 66....tough coin at that level if it is!
very nice ... 65

How is the luster in hand? The True View makes the luster look muted.
My guess is 66, at a minimum.

Should be at least a 65, if not better! Pretty coin.
Looks MS63 to me.

I’m going to be a contrarian. I agree the surfaces look gem, but the coin looks like it has been dipped a few too many times and retoned. The obverse looks dull. I’ll wager low grade MS netgraded for the luster. I’ll call it a 62 maybe 63 on a good day.
If it has full cartwheel luster and doesn’t look lifeless in hand. I have no problems with a gem grade.
64 nice appeal
Interesting toning, I am not sure if I like it of not. I would guess 65,
MS66 here. Looks nice!

65 due to muted luster

I'll go MS64, looks just ok...Something not quite right with the obverse luster....Hard to determine through the photo. These coins are all about original luster. Perhaps dipped and retoned at some point. hard to say.
I see this thread as an example of the pitfalls in grading a coin from the image. And in making that observation, I am not critical of the photo- the PCGS photography team is terrific. I see a difference in the obverse and reverse surfaces... could be the lighting... but that differences raises the possibility it just may have received an altered surfaces designation with a no grade. I would like to be wrong but I would rather see it in hand before offering an opinion at a lofty grade which the coin may very well deserve- I just feel uncomfortable going there.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Hard to to be absolute from a pic, but, judging from strike and surfaces, I would venture to say 67 !
Based on the pic, it does appear dipped and retoned , Im guessing 64 if graded recently, 63 before the advent of the tab slab

What was the grade?
I like it at a 65. A very attractive coin👌
I’ll go MS66+

Agree with the above. I need to see the coin re its eye appeal. Unc. Barber Halves are the ugliest group of uncirculated coins I've ever seen. The only very minor flaw I see with this is a tic or lint mark, if you spend a lot of time looking at it you will see it, between the lip and star 9.
This is a very clean coin. It doesn't have the typical spotchy toilet bowl toning you often find on unc. Barber Halves. Dipped and retoned unc. coins I have seen don't have as subtle toning as this one.
If you're looking for a nice type coin, and the price is affordable to you, I'd consider this one.

I love the imagery. Thank you for reminding me why I never pursued a date and mintmark set of these.
I'll go dipped
63+
looks like a LOT of contact hidden by overexposed images.
nice coin it would seem though.
Time for a reveal?????

That's a long ass time for a GTG! I predict it will fall into the dungeon until the reveal!
My first impression was 63+
Mr_Spud
66.
I like it. 64 here due to the knocks on the chin and neck.
Collector, occasional seller

65 since I only have a photo to go by.

That image shows noticeable flaws on Liberty’s portrait, which weren’t apparent in the original image.

Not a dog, by any means. But it looks like a 64, as opposed to a coin that would easily grade higher.

I'll pile on with you!
I also see some indications of luster not evident in the True View. The obverse in the True View looks stripped.
Oh yeah, it was the Trueview picture that didn't show all the problems............
And CAC just had an extra sticker laying around so they put it on this one

That Trueview reminds me of a former girlfriend's glamor shot she had taken. Not that it didn't resemble her a little bit, but my gosh it really accentuated the positive and a couple dings and scratches didn't show as much (well let's just leave it at that).
more luster in the slab shots
