I don't think it'll get PL because only the obverse has any mirror-like surfaces. Thoughts? Grade?  |

64. Reverse looks like it has die polishing marks. Both sides have a small number of hairline scratches. There are many stunning examples of gem 79-S coins. Fields show a lot of distracting marks in this example.
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 also at 64. Dates like 79s, 80s, 81s, 82s are the most abundant pl and dmpl coins because of high mintages and a lot of dies were used, plus their strikes were impeccable and stunning

MS64, obverse looks PL but the reverse not. Beautiful example nonetheless.

 MS64. If it has little more eye-appeal, or little less scratches, then maybe 65. |

To me it makes 65 no problem. Beautiful example.

Wonderful looking example. Looks like it should be 64, but OBV does look PLish.
