I'm not sure these shots will make for accurate grading, but what do you think?   |

From these pictures I will throw a grade of MS63 on this coin.

Hard to say from these pictures, but looking at the talons, breast, cheek, and cap (in that order.)
I would hazard a guess at NGC 62 up to 64 depending on what is going on in the fields that the pictures do not convey.
I look forward to the results!

MS-63
It might have a shot at a PL.

Could have a shot at PL but also could have a shot at details as well. Maybe it's just me but I'm not comfortable giving an opinion from these pics for some reason

I think it is a MS63, and can't tell about PL.

I see what looks to me to be a bit of a cartwheel effect, so I think PL is unlikely (especially for the reverse, and to earn a PL designation, it takes two to tango). Spot right in the middle of the eagle's breast looks to be an abrasion. If that's assessed as a bagmark, then it's hard to see how this specimen falls short of MS64, and unless these photos are deceiving, I'd have no problem with a "+" being tacked on. The bit of field chatter probably ought to keep it from making 65, but NGC nowadays seems to grade coins on a "merket" rather than a "technical" basis, so who knows on an overall beauty like this?

Thanks for the feedback so far. Here are shots in natural light...I wish they were sharper. I'll post the grade shortly:   Edited by Phaedrus29

I'd be hard pressed to say that's the same coin, that's how different the latest photography makes it look (a point that shouldn't be missed by all those using ebay). The apparent spot on the eagle's breat was obviously an optical illusion, and the cheek looks immaculate in these shots. Nevertheless, I'll stand by my prior assessment. Not likely to receive PL designation, and might make 65 but probably shouldn't. Colligo ergo sum

MS64 definitely not a PL worthy coin.
