Please excuse photos I'm trying my best. I don't have a set up or the time at the moment. I'm going to post this and see if the pictures are even worth posting as I have some other coins I'm looking to take to Baltimore next week for grading. Thanks for the help and and suggestions are appreciated!

Looks about MS64 to me, there are too many contact marks for MS65 imo. Is there some damage to the rim? That might knock it down a bit, maybe 63+ but I'm gonna say MS64 from the photos. Value at MS64 $500-$700.

The GSA dollars got hammered during their many years of storage and road trips. This appears to be a typical example from that stash. Borderline 62/63 depending on which pictures you look at. The scuffyness of the face and neck is very distracting in the last picture. More natural lighting should offer a better picture of what the coin actually looks like.

Does anyone have a good thread on taking pictures using natural lighting or an easy/basic setup?

Lighting on the obverse pics makes it difficult to evaluate the fields.

This really helped me to take good pictures, better than results I've been getting with natural light. Here is a link to YouTube to see how its done, & where to get the material, very inexpensive to do.

What's going on between the R in DOLLAR and the adjacent star?

Lots of die cracks on the reverse. Rims look a bit chewed up.

MS63, or MS63 details if that's PMD by the star.

Also the R that was referenced. Tough to get a good picture looks worse in the pictures than in hand

I'm a retired elementary school teacher, so I give it a B+. Hope that's helpful.
