Hi It has some scratches from coming loose from its cellophane wrapper. This is my very first post so I am extremely nervous. What do you think?   Thank you Jen |

 It's hard to take pictures of proof coins. I'm not sure the folks on here will want to give you a grade with those pictures. It's always best to remove the coin from the flip when taking photos if you can. |

Thank you. I had a little trouble with the photo optimization tool as well. I will get better pictures posted. I appreciate your input. Thank you  |

Make sure that the coin in the next pictures is completely free of dust.
The reflection of a dust particle immediately under the particle will make the particle look bigger than it actually is, and may be confused with a tiny nick or scratch.
Can also be a problem with slabbed proof coins, where a dust particle can appear twice - once on the surface of the slab, and again as a reflection off the surface of the coin.

Not an expert by any means on proof coins but in my opinion this coin would be hard to get past PF-62 with all it's issues . And what the heck is that what looks like a gouge out of his face ? Same color as the fields .  |

Looks like Washington's cheek is missing? A strange coin. For now I'll say PF details, damaged.

Nice coin! I Love the early Washington proofs. They are stunners with cameos.  To CCF! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

With the condition of this coin in it's present state I can only say it is now an impaired proof . A lot has happened to this coin since it came loose from it's cellophane wrapper .  |

The reverse looks nice but the obverse has some issues. Still, a nice proof!
