Good looking coin...love how these use all the available space...looks like 1909 is ready to roll off the edge.
No noticeable open field (high point) hits. Tiny rim dink on the reverse.
Can't really tell from the pics how much luster there is? Pretty sure there is some on a mark free coin.
MS62/63

Loss of luster on the cheek, and a trace of wear on the leading edge of the wing. There are some light circulation marks on the fields, and some light hairlines on the neck and upper chest that I hope aren't enough to detail it. I'd say AU-58, probably straight.

These Pratt incuse coins are so difficult to grade from static photos, but I think this one is mint state also. Not more than MS63 more likely MS62.
I can't really tell below the Indian's jaw into his chest, if that is light wiping? or die polish? That's the only spot I see that could change my guess under light in hand I think.

58 based on what appears to be rub on wing. A 64 would not surprise me as the coin has very few marks.

It doesn't show wear but the surfaces seem a little dull and almost covered in texture or tiny tiny hairlines like its been cleaned or wiped. Hard to say from these pics. My gut is saying either AU58 or details. I am not seeing any trace of luster in these pics.

Good eye appeal. I think it's MS-64.
