    It has a shot at any grade, but the weak strike might hold it to a 64

    Yes, IMO.

    Nope. Too many ticks and the rim bump would keep it out. Die looks like it was well used when this coin was struck.

    I'll go with no. Lots of small ticks and weak strike for a date known for strong strikes.

    May I also say "no" for the reasons cited previously?

    No. It was struck from a "tired die," and it's got too many little nicks. Some of the nicks may have been on the planchet before it was struck and were not effaced by the "tired die." A coin like this "was struck" in MS-64. It would have had a hard time getting an MS-65 the moment it was struck.

    Agree with the no answers---late die state, numerous contact marks, weak strike, less than great luster, etc.

    I also agree.

    And to be quite honest they can be had at fully struck reasonable prices already slabbed, saving you the grading fee and the possibility of not getting what you may have wanted from this coin you imaged.

    I agree with the consensus, too (No; maybe MS64 at best). Internet Junkie also brings up a good point, too. Save that $50 fee/S&H for another coin...

    Quite a few little ticks and the weaker strike will hold it back a bit. Looks 64sh to me...
