I'll say MS-63.

your photos always fool these old eyes. they tend to make the surfaces duller than they actually are, so I'm now adjusting for that.
average strike for the year. I do see quite a few small hairlines on the obv in front of the profile, and the luster on the cheek appears light or missing which would keep her out of the 64 box definitely not a 62 coin, so coming up with a grade on this one is pretty simple. MS63

This coin looks pl in person, I went to PCGS and tried to mimic the images they have of the same coin in pl which dont show the reflection. If I take pictures showing reflection I feel it wont show the marks on the coin. The hairline scratches are also on most the 1904 pl images on PCGS even the coins above 64.

MS details, lots of hairline scratches on the obverse fields.

Coin came back 64 from pcgs which is over graded I think.
Also not sure why I sent this coin in, I think I had it with me when I dropped off another coin. I will share the fun coin grades soon.

the luster must be there for them to assign a 64 grade. I am at a loss as to how to assess your coins. regardless of your photos there is no signs of PL surfaces. maybe post 2 sets of photos. one straight on and the other set at an angle that shows what the surfaces look like in hand and see if that helps

Just when I thought I was getting the hang of taken pictures.
Good idea on 2 sets of pictures.

64 seems reasonable. Nice!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
