I'm becoming convinced that it is indeed a PL. Not trying to minimize the reality of the coins condition but by the wonderful exaggeration of my great photographic technique what appears to be a horrible divot on her face is actually a fairly light surface scratch. Believe it or not.

This is a BUSINESS strike not a PL.

Pacificoin,

If the scratch on the obverse is indeed just a surface scratch and not a divot, would you, if you owned it, send it in for grading? Obviously, I'm not going to blame you if I send it in and it comes back as a low grade, but I would certainly like your opinion.

Bob no as ICCS just does not like obverse marks. As colonial said earlier an ICCS 60 is probably correct. Save the fees and continue the hunt. if you look carefully you will snag a super nice 1958 out of a coin dealers stock or at a show for 25 bucks or so enjoy the hunt!

Thanks everyone for your remarks and opinions. It's time to put this one to bed.

I also think this is an MS example. It's a good looking coin other than the mark. I think 60 is harsh but 63 is likely depending how ICCS applies the formula du jour, 64 is not impossible. I've seen some noisy fields get graded pretty high by ICCS. Saing that, it's a common enough coin in high grades that in this market even at MS64 you'll max out at $40-$50 for an ICCS graded coin.
