Here are some pics. My main concern is around Liberty's eye. I will be negotiating price w/ seller. But, I'm curious as to other opinions on grade.

That gash under the eye will require about 12 stitches to close. I would pass on this for a better one. There are plenty out there.

edit - just saw your other post. I would return it. To keep it I would say AU55 money.

My guess is 63 if it has superior luster which, based on the pics, it might but those scratches would bother me. It's one of those things where once you see a blemish, it's all you ever see. There looks to be some hairlines too in the fields in front of her face.

If it's a MS64 getting MS63 opinions, and if the eye bothers you, I would pass for another unless you get an exceptional price. It is a nice coin, but that's obviously relative.

Looks like there may be a lot of marks. I am guessing MS-62.

I don't like that coin at all. Slide marks on the obverse, a nasty gash and water spots make the eye appeal negative. This is a common coin; buy a nice one.

Is chris12018 waiting to see if the stitches heal up without scarring?
