Absolutely gorgeous.

Almost looks like rub on the high points, but I'm betting that this coin is uncirculated

it does look kinda weird, does it have any luster to it at all, and is just poorly represented by russ's photography? (someone needs to take the blame)

Nope..can't fault Russ on his photography..the coin's luster is, for lack of a better term, is subdued, but still present. The big orange pumpkin Stewart is looking at is probably a pretty accurate description, but that is misleading...it's closer to an apricot.

Can I guess?

Nice photos!

Russ....that wouldn't be a "guess" coming from you

I would go with MS66RB based on learning what some of the pics make them look like.

I might have forgotten. I'm old and my memory isn't so good anymore.

That picture does make you appear to have some miles on you.

OK..as the post originator, I declare this post officially highjacked by Russ. For everyone else, It's a MS66RB. As noted many times on the boards, NGC has put many a coin in it's coffin, and here is such an example.

Russ...you can NEVER guess the grade on my coins!!!...lol I rely on you image them for me so I can see them, so that's hardly fair. Old, tired eyes like mine can only see so much anymore, so for me to continue in this hobby for as long as I can is dependant on you and that $10.00 Kodak Brownie you use.

Sorry. But come on now.

The coin, in hand is slightly more attractive than it first appears. What looks like rub in the image is more of deep gun-metal blue toning..all the detail is still 100% there. But If I squint my eyes, (easy for me), it still looks like a 64...maybe a 65 on a generous day. I got it for 64 $ so I'm satisfied. But Stewart is correct...it fits in my collection in grade only, not in appeal, so it's near future will be under a hammer.
