I picked this one as VAM 31 not attributed on Heritage a few weeks back. I think it is under graded a grade. Regardless its a cool coin .
Curious what you think based on the photos.
I need to build a photo box

I think it's under graded as well.

I'll go MS63 and OP may think it might make a 64

Edit: changed "you" to "OP" to avoid confusion.

I'd say it's a solid 63 but likely a 64.

photos are a little hazy. the breast could be a little more defined but I think the strike is pretty much on point for this year. I think the abrasions on the left obverse field is the most significant issue. luster across the cheek is a little weak. tough to call this due to lighting and haze. this one could have come in as AU58 or MS63. imo it should be in a MS64 slab

forgot to give results, this one is a very nice 62 , should be a 63 in my opinion but has quite a few light cheek marks so my guess is that is what held it. Though still looks 63 to me
