Thanks!

The reverse looks PL and I bet the obverse looks "kinda" PL too...the rub on her cheek and the open field rub takes away from the PL.
I like her for a strong MS63 maybe 64

strike is just a tad weak on both sides as this one should be sharp and bold. I think there is some missing luster on the cheek. a few minor ticks on the jaw and in front of the chin as well as some reeding on the neck. the largest one on the field in front of the neck. the rest appear to be rub with a few scuff marks. impossible to call any type of PL appearance using the photos.

i think its MS63+ maybe 64 if there was less rub on the cheek

I'm certainly not an expert on silver dollars, but I agree with everyone else up there -- I thought maybe a 63-64 based on the contact marks or hairlines or whatever they're called (like I said, not an expert.)

Reverse looks prooflike but lots of marks to the obverse I don't think it grades higher than MS62+

Good shot at MS-64 as the marks seem light, nothing too deep.

Solid MS63, good shot at MS64 if those cheek marks are just light breaks in the frost vs. contact marks

The contact marks on the cheek are very much so superficial ones.

In hand this looks 64 all day.

From experience on how our community operates.... giving the conservative safe grade at 63 is understandable.

But.....TobyJ-MS62+?

Not often I undergrade but it just looks to have too many marks but I agree they look light. I'll upgrade to MS63 through sheer peer pressure &

Not many significant hits. Agree it looks 64 and attractive.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

TobyJ- Thanks haha! I was just messing around, I'm glad to see you didn't take it serious. You're kool in my book

I'm going to whack TobyJ also even though he conceded to peer pressure
