MS62 seems right. Now find the later die state VAM 29A. That one is even more of a mess.  |

MS-63 details, but the large scratch will effect the overall grade.

I think that scratch limits it to MS-62 and might relegate it to a details grade if the grader is having a bad day.

i think 62 also and it may details due to the scratch. its in a high profile location and would be weighted heavier than in a lower profile area.

MS-61. Generally speaking, the lowest two MS grades in away are "details", and silver dollars by far have these the most. The luster is rather dull in addition.

I'd tend to go more MS60 with the size and location of the gouge, it doesn't look like a scratch, but from the photos it's a tough call, more like bag contact with another coin. If so that would negate any details, however, the coin is only worth what uruman paid - melt value unfortunately, as a VAM it is almost unsaleable to a another collector, IMHO.
