How would you grade this coin on Sheldon scale?
I'm preparing to send few coins to NGC and would like to your opinion about this coin. All pictures are auction photos since I don't take good photos.

I was hoping for PL designation for this coin. Here is how NGC graded it. In comparison I have posted another coin that was graded in same batch which graded MS65 PL.

I need to check that Details coin more closely to see why it was graded as details. I know that it doesn't have Surface hairlines but maybe I missed something. Please point out if you see something on photos that you see as a reason for details grade.

There's probably some hairlines on the surface of that 1890 L.
