    Great guesses everyone and I agree with Ken about the reverse die polishing marks associated with the early proof die indicators. This is an MS65 example. You’re up next @Coinbert.

    Clackamas1 got it. I remember being told a 58 was a 63 with slight rub or friction in the old days.

    Oh sure. The 1800 bust dollar you posted, I guessed AU58 and it was a 62. This one I guesssd gem unc. and it was a 58. What’s up with that? Can’t grade these for crap!

    These early coins are complicated with strike issues versus wear. And surface issues or cleaned. I don't trust my grading skills with a raw early dollar. I saw a gorgeous 1799 PCGS 58 at FUN that looked better than this one without a green bean. I was scared I was overlooking a surface issue. John Baumgart took these photos that really make the coin look great.

    I remember buying the 1968 and 1969 mint sets and looking at the coins and saying what happened to the beautiful silver coins of the past. At least the halves were silver for a little longer. I stopped buying mint and Proof sets after 1973. At least the 1970 and 1973 sets did well. The Proof 1971 Ikes at $10 were a bad deal for many, many years.

    Did you see my guess? You may have to guess again.
