Beautiful coin and I love the die cracks. It gives it character. Obviously this is a high grade MS coin and the WC adds to the value.

I'm curious, your coin pics are beautiful. How do you do it? Perhaps you've posted about it in the past but I'm new here. What equipment are you using and do have any tips?

Thanks!

I don't know much about photography so I can't offer tips. I use a Nikon D3100 with a 85mm macro lens attached. Set up on a tripod and I use auto focus with flash.

I will guess at least MS-63 but could grade as high as MS-65 as I don't see very many hits or scratches on the coin at all, so I guess my final decision is MS-64 which is between the two grades

I will guess MS-63+. I see scattered marks on the neck and face, fields, and around the V on the reverse which I think would limit it to a MS-63/64.

Is the mark on the reverse just to the left of the V a planchet flaw?
