I posted this one a while ago, but due to the lack of good quality pictures, I decided to take some brand new ones. There are some scratches on the holder, you can tell which ones are on the holder and which ones are on the coin if you look carefully. Thinking of resubmitting this one depending on the grades I get here, thanks for looking.

Looks like an easy MS64. If it's in a 63 holder it should be resubmitted as a 64 is likely these days.

ms62-63 range for sure. What is going on with LIBERTY on the obverse? Just a bit of a weak strike going on there? OR?

I too am MS62/63 range, the color balance looks off and from what I can tell the lines on the cheek/jaw area are on the coin not the holder, that keeps it down at 63 or lower to me.

Not to hijack this thread but I looked up Necer149's original thread on this coin. It is quite an eye opener to see the PCGS grade and an even bigger eye opener to see the previous CCF grade estimates. Quite an interesting coin.

Yep, will be cracking this one out. PCGS OGH has this at MS61. Thanks for all the opinions everyone.
