Thx for the much better pics.

I'd give it a MS65 PL. Nice coin!

sure would like to see that shadow area from the cheek down. i'll assume the luster is there. if it is then MS65PL to push it past PL you need to give us depth reference like newsprint with the coin on its rim

Panzaldi.......cannot do that as the coin is slabbed. I will post the slab front later today.

I'll sit this one out. Obverse fields are too dark to evaluate.

This is why grading from questionable photos can be so challenging. It's difficult to truly assess surfaces without the coin in hand.
