Pretty clean I think. The fields on the rev I believe have a lot of "die polish scratches"? They're just in the fields and do not continue into the devices. Its slabbed but just curious what you guys think... Thanks

Surfaces are too dark to show detail clearly enough to grade from.

Gotta agree with that cussed amphibian again.

Too much glare for me to see areas that should be seen.

The fields on both sides are dead and blank.

My bad, here are better pics. I'm curious about this particular coin because out of all my MS Morgans this one has extremely mirror like, reflective fields. So I wanted to see what you guys think. Heres the better pics, or if theres a better way to show the "mirror-like: detail please let me know

Oh and in the pic where I circled an area in yellow, there seems to be some film of some sort?
Also the slab case is really scuffed and scratched up.

MS64 tops. not sure about the reverse, could be palm print from handling or a non-issue. Impossible to determine PL qualities. coin must be placed on edge on newsprint to show depth of field

@ panzaldi....

Is it possible to do that with the coin in the slab? I'm gonna see if I can accomplish that PL test...

Jayyk31...if its NGC slabbed isn't the grade listed already and any designations like PL? if PL is not listed then it probably is not.

Yes it is. NGC graded it ms65 but I believe its pl or dmpl. I think they missed the mark on this one but I'm no expert. I just did a small video of the reflection like you said. I'm gonna try to post it.
