Slabbed by PCGS and described as the "Burning Beehive"
Thoughts on the grade?

I grade the beehive MS-64. Lovely color on that puppy.

I thought that monsters had to be kept in a cage?

Depending on luster, I would say....with high luster MS64
not that mush luster.....MS63

That's a tough call from pictures, the toning is so deep on the obverse.  I'll guess 64, but a 63+ wouldn't surprise me.

Great color, but the mark on the cheek should limit the grade.  Great color, did I mention that already? ;D

I guess that I would have to agree., a bump for the color and a subtraction for the gash,

MS-63+ , would seem to be in order. Still, a very lovely coin.

Ahhh, I do see luster now. I think the original image made the scratch look worse than it is.

Nice coin, beautiful color  congratulations :smiley-cool05:
