I think we're looking at more of a strike issue than wear/circulation issue?
Because I'm not familiar with these...I used PCGS photograde to compare.
I know it's not wildly popular here as a true way to grade...but for comparative analysis...if you look at their MS61...student's example is far superior...but their MS62 is nicer...and their MS63 doesn't look as good as their MS62...idk?
So based solely on this (which probably doesn't mean a lot) MS61+/62
