OGH probably a 65....today it may be a 66, the weak reverse breast strike may keep it from being a 66.

I'm probably at 64 as nicks seem to be on the coin and not the holder, plus flatness on the hair and eagles breast feathers. 85-O is a common date so it would take an exceptional strike for PCGS to grade it 65 or more!

I am also at 64. There is something weird running down from the top of forehead down the nose of liberty, although the cheek is incredibly clean. Also the weak strike and in the eagle and the lack of detail in the hair of liberty above the eye hold it back from gem. Pity because that is a great looking cheek.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I'm in the 65 camp, and we will be throwing Apple's at the 64 camp if they don't agree that we are right.

OGH MS64. Easy 65 on a crackout, but not worth it.
