I'll give it an MS-61 just because the reverse looks nice.

Appreciate the added replies. When I get this one in, I will provide in-hand opinions. These photos are likely much better than I can provide.

Seems pretty much unanimous: MS, prooflike surfaces, heavily bag marked but otherwise a no-problem dollar. MS-61 PL.

MS62 but would shell out 63 money because she's a beauty.  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."

One of the prettier examples of this VAM that I've seen lately MS62PL Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D. Brandeis |

This one seems to be on a slow boat somewhere. No indication as to when it will arrive.
I've been promising some in-hand evaluations of these new acquisitions and have been far behind that with a crazy work schedule right now. Hope to find time this weekend to honor those commitments.

The sharp difference between the obverse and reverse and relative lack of marks in the hair make me wonder if this could be a casino coin. I raise this, because there is at least some risk it could come back with a 98 code. If it straight grades, I'll join the MS-61PL crowd. EDIT: I agree, regardless of technical grade or a code, it's still a fantastic coin for the VAM. EDIT EDIT: My wife reminded me of the 1892-S casino coin I sent in a few years back. It was rougher than this one, but would have been on the 50/53 bubble if it straight graded. They caught it and shipped it back with a 98 code. It was like trying to sneak the sun past a rooster, but I thought it had an outside shot at a straight grade. This coin is definitely nicer, and has a much better shot. Last edit, I promise.
