Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5689 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 02:57 am The reverse of this issue is one of the easiest to photograph luster, and this coin isn't showing much. I'm leaning towards Unc details, overdipped. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15572 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 05:37 am I'll suggest mid-MS, likely MS63/MS64 or so. Important to note that the chatter marks on BTW cheek are in fact original planchet marks and not post strike hits. This design is known for an incomplete strike at that location and finding an example without the planchet marks is a real challenge. I can't say the same for the gash on the upper cheek adjacent to the nose - that is a post strike hit and factors into my grade opinion. I'm going to suggest the Mods move this to the US Commemorative forum for proper attention. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18729 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 07:34 am I'm not familiar with issues related to planchet or strike on these. looks like some rub on the high points of the profile. light/shadowing could be altering what we are seeing. I'm going with MS64 Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12332 Posts	Posted 09/29/2022 08:39 am If the first image is an accurate reflection of the coin's state of preservation, I'd have to say AU due to multiple areas of wear/metal loss on the design's obverse high points (the dark areas in the image).
