would like some thoughts on this one. On the obverse there are a couple of small dings at the top of the head that the light washes out and there is a die crack going from the 9 through to the hair. Don't know if that crack will take away from the grade. Can hardly see it without magnification. Some of the numbers in the date and a couple letters in liberty seem to be a little messy. On the reverse there appear to be only a couple of small hits in the wings. The coin has full luster. I'm saying ms65 unless the die crack kills it. These buggers are tough. How many hits are to many? Know I have seen ms66 coins that don't look this good IMO. Would like to hear some thoughts from any and everyone. Thanks

It's a strong MS64 but there's a few contact marks on the reverse that are not light that is keeping it away from a 65.

I'd agree with a 64. There's a pretty good mark on the edge of the wing a little below the U in united and under the T as well.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't to sure if that mark was to much for a 65. Sounds like it is.
