Some of the spots you see are on the slab... or ARE they?! That all depends on your guess.
This is another coin from the syraq collection.

    Gosh, what fun. I've never tried my hand at grading SAEs. I'll guess MS-67. The marks on the obverse rim and the wrist. The two marks in the reverse left field and the reverse spotting. I may be completely off on how to give those features a numerical value. I'll call it a learning experience.image

    image Great Picture!!! What camera and lighting do you use? The pictures so good I'm guessing it's minimum 67 but closer to 69? Lee

    I use a Canon A70, a bit of an outdate model now. I have a hankerin' for the Canon A95.

    My lighting is usually improvised. I just use whatever I can find and screw with the lights until I get what I like.

    I would guess 68-69, closer to the 69 side

    I'll say MS-67, since it appears to have several marks and spots on both sides.

    I want the Canon A95 as well.....have you heard good things about the macro...I have heard good things about everything else it does.

    I'd go MS-66 because of the long hairlineon the obverse and the spots on the reverse, but I don't know anything about grading eagles.

    It was indeed a PCGS MS-69.
