It looks too scuffed up on the face for it to be a 64 so I thought I would ask for any other opinions.

The coin looks a little better than 63, so I am fine with the 64. The black spots are a little distracting.

Might depend on how the marks in the field in front of Liberty's face appear in hand as to why it crept into the 64 range. Based on the pics, I'm also in the 63 club.

Same same.

Nice reflective fields, bag marks not too distracting, dark spots do detract, 64 is okay but not good 64 money.

They seam more lenient when there is only $30 from 63 to 64. If there were $500 difference they would not give it that 64.

It could be a high MS-63 or low MS-64. I think MS-63 is a fair grade, 64 is too high.

Not the strongest 64 maybe, but elements are there. Very good strike, plenty of luster remaining, at least a couple of mostly unmarked fields.

But I'm with Jason in this -- it should probably have earned MS63. Even 62 would be arguable.

Distracting marks and hits on the cheek and below the chin, and dings and scratches in the field in front of Miss Liberty. MS63

Quite a few hits but the luster is booming. I'm good with 64 for this.
