MS-65. Reverse looks PL. Not sure on obverse.

I'll say MS-64 PL, possibly DMPL

That's a beaut, regardless of designation.
I'm comfortable with the reverse at MS-65+/66 PL. That's beautiful.
The obverse is tougher because of the photo. There are abrasions on the eyelid, cap ribbon, and cheek. The eyelid contact marks look the deepest, but still don't appear excessive for MS-65. What I can't tell from the photo are (1) whether the scuffs on the cheek are disruptions in the frost or contact marks, and (2) whether the fields have the same apparent depth as the reverse.
This one could net anywhere from 64-65+, more likely than not PL, and maybe DMPL. A better obverse photo would really help. Please give us a chance with an in-hand obverse photo before posting the grade.

PL and DMPL opinions are all over the place. Better photos would help give a more accurate grade. My opinion is MS64 PL.

I think I'll revise mine. Really want to say 64+PL but I think they gave it MS-65PL

Its in a Gen 4 1998-2002 slab that detracts from it, so it will get re slabbed.

After seeing the new photos, I have a better feel for the coin. I still see the reverse at MS-65+/MS-66 PL. It is fantastic. The obverse photo gives a much better picture of the coin. There are three contact marks of concern: (1) a ding on the eyelid, likely from the edge of another coin (there are two parallel lines that could be Reeding Marks), (2) a NW-SE scratch on the cheek, and (3) a NW-SE scratch on the cap. The other apparent marks are only disruptions in the frost. The marks over the eye and on the cap are not too bad. The scratch on the cheek is in a high visibility area. I think it would be more important for grading. I see the obverse at MS-64+ PL. I'm comfortable with PL from the pics. You have it in hand. It may be enough for DMPL. That's harder to judge from pics. I would net the coin to MS-65 PL or possibly MS-65+ PL. It has great eye appeal. You did very well with this one! |

fortcollins was the one that asked for the delayed release, and he has commented. I may not be around tomorrow, so I'm going to let it go now. 2 in the bag for Coinfrog :) Thanks to all that gave their opinions, I learn with each one.  Edited by farrider11
