Agree. Would probably be graded 65 by services today. In old ANACs holder may be graded 64.

Obverse strike weakness holds it to MS64, at least in these images.

It's a full grade MS 64, very attractive, and VAM-3 (1880-CC Rev '79) w/the standard die chips and cracks. The clashed die strikes with transfer (3A) are much more scarce, especially the EDS and MDS clashed strikes before die polishing occurred in the later stages, the finest known of any 3A in the census being a single MS63 example!

That coin is some good stuff for sure. 64+ I can imagine what it would look like in hand. Congratulations on a beauty ! AG

Something interesting about this coin is it shares the same clash marks as the 7a obverse. Has the wreath clash on the back of libertys head, the clash at the lip and I can see what seems to be the start of clashed n. You can kind of see the clash at lip and the wreath clash in these pics. I may need to pull out the microscope.

it could go 64 or 65 but this one is so close to 65 I think it may have pulled MS65

BTW, my MS 63 guess is the old ANACS grade. It would make a 64 probably by today's standards, but I have many nicer MS 64s that ANACS says won't upgrade.

Thought she was a tad undergraded  |

I can see the damage to the #1 star holding it to 63 but 62 is very conservative. There's not a big value difference from 62 to 63 to 64 so I'd leave it in the old holder and enjoy it as a nice example of a conservatively graded piece.
