The sharp difference between the obverse and reverse and relative lack of marks in the hair make me wonder if this could be a casino coin.
I raise this, because there is at least some risk it could come back with a 98 code. If it straight grades, I'll join the MS-61PL crowd.
EDIT: I agree, regardless of technical grade or a code, it's still a fantastic coin for the VAM.
EDIT EDIT: My wife reminded me of the 1892-S casino coin I sent in a few years back. It was rougher than this one, but would have been on the 50/53 bubble if it straight graded. They caught it and shipped it back with a 98 code. It was like trying to sneak the sun past a rooster, but I thought it had an outside shot at a straight grade. This coin is definitely nicer, and has a much better shot. Last edit, I promise.
