Can you guess what NGC graded this coin?

I like it as an MS63. Very nice tone.

I say 64. The hard part is the luster. Luster plays a big part in MS buffs and pictures never give enough of that information.

I'd go with MS64 also I know NGC seem to grade harder on the reverse than on the obverse, both look great to me. Nice looking coin Thanks for sharing.

Why MS63 and not MS65?
Stike looks good along with the luster.
What would this one take to make the GEM grade in your opinion?

Very nice looking

I'd say 64 maybe a 65.

I'll go 64.

64

Did not intend to be low, just my opinion. Mostly the area under the 3rd feather, under the Chief's chin and under the Buff's stomach and under the Buffs chin appear to be disturbed and not sure why, but that's the reason I felt it was held back from a 64. Perhaps, if inhand in the light, I might disregard these areas, but from the photos my Guess. Again, just an opinion.

64, still a nice coin

I will go 58. Looks like some possible luster breaks on high points, but may be just "cabinet friction", so could be 63. I don't see enough luster to go higher than 63, unless the photos are not showing it.
