I know how I've grade the coin, but would like to know how you would grade in your collection. Thanks for your input.

MS 65 at best. The toning here adds nothing for me and the hits on the side of the face.......

MS 66 - MS 66+.

My first impulse is 63 -64....the toning on the reverse makes it hard for me to really get a sense of what the fields really look like. However I'm a rookie just taking a crack at it.

65 tops. The obverse is nice, but the toning on the reverse has a negative eye appeal that limits the grade.

64 - eye appeal and luster

My "price grade" would be MS-64. It might be a technical grade MS-65, but the toning on the reverse is not attradtive to me, and I would not pay MS-65 money for it. That is just me, however, because I have seen any number of "old" commemorative half dollars with what I would consider to be unattractive toning with high grades and high prices on them. And, yes, I am not a fan of dark tab toning no matter how much some commemorative coin collectors like it.
