MS-67 I don't think this one is a proof, the rims just don't look squared off enough, frosting appears on many high end MS coins that makes these and certain other coins (shield nickels, some Seated coins) very hard to tell the proofs from business strikes, especially from just a static photo. It's a super nice type coin!

I'll guess MS66 possibly PL. That reverse die was polished to within an a couple of thousands of loosing the lower bow details.

Hello everyone, here is the full slab. Like many of you I was not fully convinced of the PF designation, and that was the main reason I posted it.
However, I believe the grade to be fair. Although I tried to highlight them, the hit on the cheek really is microscopic, the fields are nearly perfect, and the columns are excellent as well.

Super coin you got me on the strike, but not the grade - wonderful coin!
