Considering the reeding hits on the cheek and in the hair, what would you grade this coin?   |

First guess a MS-64 and gorgeous toning going on  with a small probability of details perhaps. |

Reed hit is in the worst possible place, so I'll say MS-63 tops.

Finger prints all over and hits everywhere. MS-62.

64 sounds right and most attractive.  |

Can't see this any higher than MS63 personally. Still an attractive piece.

I tried to get better pictures, I am not sure if these are better or worse, but here you are:   |

Very attractive toning and luster, but that hit on the cheek limits it to 63.

63 for me. Is that PVC residue on the coin? Or is that finger prints

Those 3 hits on the cheek is a real distraction for me. MS63

the coin has been mishandled in the past showing either finger or palm prints. I'm not into toned coins as in a lot of cases dont age well. this one is not bad. strike is correct for the year. you have some scuffs and scratches on the fields on both sides and the elephant in the room is the reeding on the cheek, which coinfrog commented on, is in a key area which has more of an effect on grade. technically MS64 however, with the hit and finger/palm prints, I would net it to MS63

MS-63 with nice eye appeal.

I'm with the group that sees the fingerprints and cheek dings undermining the toning and keeping it a 63 tops.

I agree 64 all day..but with the hit it brings it down to a 63.
