I'm back with this new pickup. Thoughts on the value and grade?

MS-63. Numerous marks in fields (above forehead, above hair, left of chin, right of W) -- cheek appears to have a light scratch -- reverse is better but still has lots of little marks and dings. Not FSB as neither top or middle band are fully separated.

A 90 degree clockwise rotation on the pictures would be greatly helpful. I think the luster and toning are probably good to excellent, from what I can see from these photos.

I agree with paralyse that the marks / dings reduce the grade some. MS 63 is probably a fair grade. My first thought was MS 61 but I tend to downgrade toned coins as they are not my preference.

MS-63, too many marks in the fields as paralyse pointed out.

MS-63 to MS-64 seems likely. Toning looks original if not spectacular and adds some appeal. The central bands are joined in the middle which disqualifies this coin as FB.

Overall, a pleasing example for an uncirculated set. Nice!
