This ones a little tougher, lots of die polishing lines on the reverse especially top right a couple bag marks per side what do you guys think?
I am thinking MS64 DMPL reverse, PL obverse?
thanks
Kris

Looks 64 pl to me, I'd have to take your word on the dmpl reverse, clearly not out of the question.

Maybe I'm pessimistic today but I see dull, grayish discoloration in the fields and possible faint rub on Liberty's cheek. Luster bands also seem diminished in the open fields which in my experience usually means the coin has seen some circulation. Based on these images I'd say AU-58. I also don't see enough reflectivity to support DMPL and even a PL designation doesn't look very likely.

Maybe photos with different lighting would flatter the coin more?

I would say 64 also with a PL reverse.

MS-64 this coin is not going to go PL IMO.

I'm torn by this one. My original opinion was AU-58 but after reviewing the pictures a second time I'm inclined to upgrade that to MS-64. Luster is just too sharp for this to have seen much circulation

Kman, Is this coin still for sale? I know that it is an older post, but it's worth a try...
