I'll take a SWAG at MS63+.

Thanks for the opinion! I'm a little concerned about the bagmarks on the cheek and the chatter below the PL of Pluribus, so every set of eyes helps. Thanks again!

Beautiful reverse, but the deep bag marks on the cheek might hold it to a 62. Hopefully not, because it's a beautiful, frosty coin!

MS-62, breast feathers well struck up.

The obverse has PL surfaces that just amplifies every tick and blemish the obverse has. The reverse is outstanding. I think it would make 63 in the grading room. Nice coin!

I wouldn't pay 63 money for this one. MS62.

Agree with @smat 's VAM-4 designation, which won't bring any real variety premium. This coin looks MS62 to me. If it proves to be PL, it's a 300-400-dollar coin. If it makes DMPL, double that.

Thank you all for your opinions as well as for the VAM citation. I checked all of the Top 50/100/etc. VAMs and when it didn't match any of those I just gave up. I was also torn between MS62 and MS63, I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed with either. I don't know if the Reverse is PL enough to warrant that designation, but I will keep my fingers crossed. |

A couple years ago, I think this coin could have pulled a 63 from any of the TPGs. The much tighter standards being used right now likely holds this coin to MS-62 in their eyes. The reverse is fantastic. The overall eye appeal is better than the technical grade. The fact that we are all on the 62/63 bubble suggests that it's still a bourse floor MS-63, but I'd hold off getting it certified right now. Nice coin.

I'm at 63 too. The reverse is 65 easily and the obverse is a 62 imo.

My first impression was that the bag marks hold it to a 62 but it does indeed appear to be proof-like. Can you hold the coin on edge over a printed page and see the reflection of the printing? If so, for what distance, (2",3",4", etc...)

I'll say MS-63.
Errers and Varietys.
