typical average strike for an 85(O). luster fairly good. photos are a little blurry but the surface preservation on the reverse is good, on the obverse there are quite a few marks. eye appeal average.i think the obverse held this one to MS63 based on these photos

Assuming all the lines on the obverse are on the slab. MS63

Pics way too blurry, looking forward to better ones. MS65 but maybe higher.

    tried to work my magic. The reverse is stunning there is a thin scratch on the reverse holder from the head to past the arrows, this is not on the coin. Mark behind the cap is not deep but a luster rub . No big nicks mostly just bag marks rubbing the luster. Coin has die cracks all around the front almost with a die break between the R and I beautiful coin

This one grades MS-65 reverse is amazing , obverse is very nice as well just the luster rubs and smooth surfaces minus the die break and die cracks. Reverse may of brought the grade up a little though.

Agree with 65. Nice coin. The cheek gets more weight than the field marks.
