A grade conservative on the flip, I think, based on small images. Will await your own images.

I don't know, that hit on the cheek places it in as 63 for me

I think it is good for a MS-64. It might have a chance at a 65 but the chatter in the fields might keep it from getting that grade.

Yeah, that looks prominent which is why I'm essentially reserving judgment until he gets his own shots. I'm seeing serious luster, semi-PL territory, and thinking maybe some of that mark is a break in the frost.

After blowing up your pic its still hard to tell if thats a hit on the cheek or what. The chatter as some call it in the fields doesn't really bother me. I go with 64 and a shot at 65.

I think 63 + is accurate based on your photos. As for the VAM, I'm thinking 1F or 36 based on the polished 8 and the "cootie" on the jaw.
I'm leaning towards 1F based on the mint mark.

I'm sticking with 63 as well, and definitely a Cootie Jaw. Dave, my view of the MM makes me trend Vam-36 for it, as I'm seeing a left tilt on the MM and the characteristic "crud" in the top loop of the S. I'm not 100% on it, though.

You are correct SD. I had it pegged as having the "crud" and apparently got crossed up between the 2 listings. I guess I had too many windows open at once.
