Very nice my friend, I'm curious if you cherry picked this..

I am not seeing the off-center strike.
Very nice strike on this one for an 84-O. MS-65

MS64. Scrape on jaw keeps it from MS65.

64. Very sharp strike for an 84O, full breast feathers and nearly full hair.

Technically it look's like a reverse MAD. In any case, highly noticeable. This was your one chance to redeem yourself for getting ripped off by the infamous morgandealer Eric, and you blew it  You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think.

I think the coin looks out of shape because the seller took the pictures at an angle and I had to bring it back to round. Sometimes it ends up looking like a funhouse mirror. As far as morgandealer Eric, I have no idea who that is.  Can you link the coin I posted that I purchased from morgandealer Eric? I don't recall it.

this is really decent strike for the year. above average for sure. cant tell if the luster is broke due to shadowing. I think there are some marks across the jaw line. eye appeal is decent
MS64

This one sits in an old PCGS gem holder. Looks very well-struck and very nice when I was looking at it. Will post my pics when it comes in.

your initial photos had quite a bit of shadowing on the obv. my grade of MS64 was based on what looked like broken luster across the lower area of the face and it appeared that there were scratches across the jawline. the new photo doesn't really help in showing that area. if the luster is all there and those marks are not then I can see it at 65 otherwise I think the was overgraded by a notch
