When I acquired and graded this 3 1/2 to 4 years ago, I thought it was a 64. I'm not so sure today and perhaps I was a bit too enthusiastic about the grade. Now that I've blown it up in a photo with my all seeing camera phone, I notice a bit too much chatter in the fields and on her cheek and now think it might be a 62.

What do you think?

I'd be closer to 63 if it grades straight. The reverse looks thumbed.

the 90(S) are normally bold and sharp. this one has an Average strike for the year/mint. surface preservation is AVG- with average luster remaining. I think the eye appeal brings it down a notch due to the excessive amount scratches & hairlines. taking this all into consideration I think its short of 63. MS62

There are some pretty deep gouges on this one. The gouge from the cap fold to the "N" of UNUM and the gouges near the arrows and below the eagle's right wing (our visual left) hurt eye appeal significantly.

I'm leaning toward MS-61 here.

Quite a few marks, I'd say 62.

There's too much friction in the fields for this one to make MS IMHO. AU-58
