I'm not getting a good feel for the field surfaces from these pics. Certainly that forehead gouge is a problem. Possibly PL. More light on the fields would help.

MS-62 possible PL. Yes those hits by the forehead look deep.

The pics are very dark, which make it hard to tell the extent of the bag marks in the fields. I think MS-63PL.

These pics are even worse that the 82cc.

We need a few pics at different angles and better lighting. I see a deep gouge on the obverse field between the E and the P. Then there is another region of damage above the eye, and finally a long cut on the jaw.

If this was a coin on ebay I would run away... Because it appears someone is trying to take images that hide problems.

I agree the field of the obverse might grade PL, but it's very hard to tell with images.

I have previously posted about the difficulty of evaluating PL and DMPL Morgans from images. It ain't easy...

Maybe it grades 62-63 PL.
