maybe the MPD FS-1304, still waiting on confirmation. Let me know what you think of the grade before I send her off to PCGS

Assuming it is, good shot at 65 BN.

I don't see any MPD for the FS-1304 it would be a very obvious top of 8 loop between the 8 and 6 in the denticles (very obvious on this example as the variety is even visible on low grade examples). Not seeing any of the die crack diagnostics on the reverse to positively identify this as the MPD FS-1304 variety.

As to grade? I can't tell from these photos anywhere from MS61 to MS64 depending on luster. I think the weak strike on the reverse might keep it back from a MS65 grade. I'm also seeing a bit of discoloration on the reverse around the stems which may indicate an old cleaning, again there isn't much luster showing up in these photos so it's hard to say for sure.
