The obverse picture is too dark to see (at least on my monitor at work). Based on what I can see, MS64.

I'd guess MS62-63, but as Greg said, the obverse image is too dark. There appears to be a lot of chatter, that may be showing up as the spattered golden toning in the photos. Can't be sure.

MS-62...eye is immediately drawn to the contact marks. Nice luster on Rev...not so pleasing tone on Obv.

MS 61. Quite a few marks.

Hard to say from the obverse scan. Plus "O" mints tend to be flat strikes. I would SWAG at MS63.

There may be nasties hiding in the shadows, but from what I see I would guess MS63. A better picture might make me adjust my grade down, but I doubt I would raise it. These big coins are allowed a lot of marks compared to a small coin of the same grade. That's one of the reasons I don't collect them. Even in high grade they look like they've been in a few too many piggy banks.

 

Their saving grace is that they tend to tone up nicely. A beautiful tone can hide a multitude of sins.

Just like people, eh?

It looks '64 to me...

I will say MS 62... Marks are kinda distracting...
