Hello! This coin is from an auction I've been watching and I was just looking for some opinions on the grade of this coin. I have an idea, but I'd like to hear others chime in as well.

The scratch on her face and the reverse scratch right between the v. Ms63 looks like a proof possibly

Even with such a nice obverse I can't see the typical reverse weakness at the left corn on a Proof. Good shot at 63, and it's going to need acetone. See the green on the reverse? Nice and bright, it's already active. And yes, Nickel is susceptible to PVC too.

I initially thought proof too, but Dave explained it. Very nice coin, MS62.

I've got it at MS62 with an outside chance at 63.
Beautiful coin.

MS-62 for me. It would have been 63 without the large scratch on the face.
