MS66RD. The weak reverse strike hurts a bit. Might have a shot at 67 with a stronger reverse. Very nice piece.

MS-64, the large nick on the brow, the scratch on the throat and scratch on the back of the head would keep it from MS-66/65 Imo.

A few too many surface marks for me, MS-65RD. Still a nice example.
Rest in Peace

I'll have to say MS-65RD also but close to a 66 . Eye appeal 8/10 .

Strong MS64. Subtle die crack on the reverse--lower right wheat stalk. I have several like this. Nice coin.

Yeah I saw it but felt it was minor and irrelevant .

MS65 is not a perfect coin (DUH)

MS64RD. the little ticks and tiny rim nicks are not enough to lower this coin a full grade to 63 but the slight weak strike and the number of them keep it from 65 imo
