An easy MS-64, probably MS-65. A drop-dead beauty!!  |

in hand. full luster and unbroken. the cheek is very clean. the only slightest rub of the luster on the jaw line and lower bust. I'm still learning how to take pics and this one was a challenge being encased. my lighting is either too much or not enough to able to show luster correctly.

I can see this one at 65. Image-wise, you're in a tough spot shooting Encased Coins. Lighting location and angle is critical (as I guess you already know). Generally, you want more angle than the "closest to vertical" we generally favor, and pay careful attention to where you see the strongest glare into the lens (about 11:00 in your images) - along that axis (location of glare to center of coin) move just a touch further outward. You'll be happier with two light sources rather than just one in this case. The "right" location will usually be similar for any coin in the same type of encasement. |

This one is very clean and nice, definitely MS65, but looks dipped or lightly cleaned to me

I think this dollar eaches MS65 easily.

Looks like it could be a gem.
