Obverse has cartwheel, not quite as mirror like as the reverse, reverse is like a mirror with some serious cartwheel. Ms63/64?

NDBirdman all of the dollars you are posting look cleaned to me. Not sure if it is your photos or the coins have actually been cleaned. I'm not seeing any frosty cartwheel luster coins in these photos.

Possibly right, not sure, but if straight this should make 64.

Has to be my photo's. Some of these I have taken to the coin shop and asked, cleaned or no? Some they say are and show me how to tell, some they say are not cleaned. They even bought a bunch of mine like this one. It has to be me and me camera not doing a great job but these pics are much better than when I started trying to take pics of coins. I'm getting there, or should say I've hit a brick wall on getting a good pic. I use only natural daylight for light. I have tried using LED bulbs, full spectrum bulbs but so far, daylight is the best. I might get there someday.... LOL.
Saying that, this coin does have some serious mirror going on with extremely nice cartwheeel on the reverse, obverse has it but not as good.
I'll keep trying, might pick up a different camera. I do have a celestron micro scope, it does a heck of a job on closeups.

These are from the scope, all the way up so no full pics until I get a longer tube to replace the short one. Does this help?

Thanks. This is the same case with most my coins, my photography stinks... LOL I do agree, *some* have been cleaned and I can pretty much tell, but not all of them. It's a work in progress from an old guy, bad eyes, and too much to do, so little time.
