Thanks for looking! Horizontal scratches on Obverse are on the plastic holder.    |

A nice PL or cameod dollar but as to varieties ..?..but very nice..
I also have a few with the d/c down from the canoe but in different years. The d/c's are often seen in the front and the back of the canoe..
The dollar experts will step in..as true PL's are tough in 53..
Usual die burn and roughness down the center on both sides though,..but I like it when I see a full gunnel like on this one..

it is a bit tough to tell but I think this could make a MS-65. a nice example for sure.
EDIT: added 'MS' to my 65

it looks like something is stuck to the coin on the reverse rim near the O in DOLLAR..
Feel free to call me Will.

Sorry guys, I'll try to get better pictures. It's tough enough shooting through the plastic let alone a holder filled with scratches. I almost feel like popping this one out but I think I've learned my lesson from the 1939 dollar I posted recently, I may never get that grade again!  |

I'd say PL65 too. Not sure if there's a SWL designated to it

sorry paulsz, I respect your opinion but I have to say, note the poorly formed rims as well as the planchet chatter on the shoulder of Elizabeth and in the date area? these are solid indicators of the coin being a business strike since it was not fully struck. also, the die crack is an indicator that the die was likely at least a little old where as PLs are struck from fresh dies. it is still an acceptional coin with a lot of eye appeal though and I must say I quite like the 1953 NSF dollars..i only have about 10 lol. they can come with nice mirrors sometimes but a cameo example can be hard to find due to the high relief(i think). i dont want to brag or take away from the OP's thread but here is a nice example of a very well struck and highly mirrored example that I own https://goccf.com/t/252058Feel free to call me Will.

Mint State. 1953 NSS PL's do not exist.

I think I'd say an ms63, but in ICCS land it might be a ms 65 grade if it's die burn or the planchet itself. Nice coin anyways.

MS64 or 65 and I'm leaning toward the latter.

The reverse looks like a business strike to me, but I can't tell from the obverse photo (though the relief looks high). I also thought PL strikes weren't introduced until 1954...
As for grade, I'd say M-65 (assuming the rub marks I see are on the holder, and not on the coin). Beauty!

Although it's a little late now, I was going to say SWL.
