I'm thinking 64 is fair for this one. Reverse certainly looks PL to me but the obverse doesn't quite cut it IMO.

There's also quite a bit of "skin" on it, made taking photos a little difficult.

I think the lower cheek issues hold it to MS-63+.

IMHO, the obverse contact marks hold it to MS-63. Dating myself here, but it looks like a bourse floor Choice BU SPL.

i'd like to see this one in hand. I'm on the fence with AU58 or MS63. it appear to have broken luster on the nose, chin and jaw and some signs of circulation on the high points of the hair and wheat stocks. I'm going with MS63 but AU58 would not surprise me. maybe its the photos

@panzaldi, I hesitated on that, too. I ended up at 63 because I couldn't find anything on the reverse that would suggest circulation. It's possible that the obverse is cabinet rub or is simply where the light frost is missing. A 58 is definitely a possibility here.

This one looks like a slider to me with all the small scratches. Probably got tossed in with some circ dollars in it's life. MS-62 maybe.
