When I put under the scope to photograph it seems like the jaw has some smoothness to it. It's not as obvious in hand.

Hi there, before going on to grade any of these RB beauties
consider their value. it would take for them to get to a MS67
for a decent $$. Fairly low mint they are 44,610,000. Here..

Hope this helps and maybe others will chime in.

Clearly MS, but maybe no higher than 64RB. A whole roll?

I may have stretched slightly , probably 40 or so. Coinfrog , I don't collect the red brown but thought maybe a member does and trying to improve their set? I have run across all kinds of stuff buying these BU rolls. I have even run across a roll of 1959 and a roll of 1957d that made me do a double take. On first glance they were practically silverish white. Go figure!

i was going to ask you about this. that flatness also appears on the high point above the eye, cheek, lapel and shoulder. I'm wondering if its just the light reflection.

looks like the left stalk is just a hair weak and a couple very fine scratches on the rev that are probably not even visible in hand

tough to call color due to the lighting but i'll call it MS64RB assuming those flat spots are from lighting

Definitely not AU, just strike weakness in the obverse high points, literally every high point!

I suspect this looks nicer in hand. 65

i agree with badthad if we are looking at weak strike on obv then I can see it at MS65 also. probably RB but lighting/glare/shadows is tough to determine
