Definitely obverse limited. I count at least 6 dings on the obverse and am struggling to find one on the reverse. I also don't see noticeable wear, and the fields look pretty darn good. Cheek, neck, eyelid, and one hit above the 2nd star would make it a MS63? Maybe 64 since the fields look really nice. I'm pretty far from half's grade, so I'm curious if I'm losing my mind.....

I've been looking at this one for the last few minutes. I'm leaning toward MS-63.

I'm going to side with HABIB on this one. There's slight wear in the hair just above the ear, AU-55.

looks like everyone is tworn just like I was on this coin, I didn't know whether that above the ear was wear or whether it was from a worn die, all I know is thats the only place that looks "worn" so I am leaning towards the worn die thing just because it doesn't show any evidence of wear on any other high places of the coin. When I get it in hand I will take better photo's. I think it looks allot better than this one graded by PCGS as AU-50 though http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/30...hZ011QQitemZ320155388466QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

I see the telltale color change that indicates slight wear on the highest points of the obverse (eyebrow, cheek, nose, neck, and hair over the ear). The reverse looks better, with the eagle's breast feathers well-struck and with only the slightest trace of discoloration. It's possible there is still enough original luster at these points to allow the coin to squeak through as unc, but based on these photos I think it has seen a little circulation.
Since the '94-P is a key date that takes a big price jump between AU and MS-60, I expect the grading services will be conservative and settle on an AU-58 grade.
AU or MS, I'd love to have this coin!

this will definately be one that gets shipped to SuperDave if he ever does another PCGS submission (that is if he will promise to send it back Nah! just kidding I know there is no one more honest that SuperDave). I actually think this coin is UNC but I can see where others are saying AU and I may just be wishful thinking, but either way it is definately a keeper
