I own this coin, but I'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions. Some of the small specks in the pictures are dust particles.

nicely struck up. three full columns is what I always look for. cameo look. I think it just makes MS65 or PF65 I cant tell if its a proof or not. it definitely has the strike and look of a proof. these are not my specialty. I would be proud to have this one in my type set

Some tiny hits on the cheek of Liberty. Some of the bars of the "111" maybe a little marked up.
That's all that I can find.

From the pictures of this coin under plastic, I am unable to tell if it is a proof or not. It is well struck example.

MS or PF 64.

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.
