I think she's okay looking, maybe half decent, considering she was born 100 years before I was.

Has some CC letters on the back, I think that means Coin collection, right, folks? ;)

I took her home anyway, birthday present to myself. She may be old but she's also very experienced at looking half decent. She seems to like looking into mirrors, sometimes using them to read the newspaper from 12" away. Weird, but hey, everyone's got something weird, right?

Some fella with the initials PCGS decided to shroud her in plastic. Must be one of those French names or something.*

Anyway, I got her permission to post a couple of "selfies" here, so let's see how you think she looks...her rear end isn't quite as nice as the front, but age is a killer**

*Warning: Humor is an attempt to be humorous. In case you're not amused...smash plastic and pull coin. An alarm will sound and you will automatically post an angry "HOW DARE YOU!!" rant.

**Warning #2: Don't ask me what she cost to bring home. Love is priceless...or was that worthless?

Did I mention that she's a VAM-2A, in my biased opinion?

Very nice

Just because (for me) I know how hard it is to take pictures
of coins like this. And the pictures show the negatives a
lot more than they look in hand.

I am at MS 64 DMPL

A difficult coin to put a number to from photo. The mirrors on the obverse are DMPL quality and the reverse mirrors could be DMPL or PL. I would grade her at MS63 DMPL and I would not be surprised if the grade is MS 64 PL. She is a beauty with nice cameo, and your photos are excellent.
