This one has good mint luster in the fields, and recessed areas.
Nice detail, but does show some signs of wear - especially above the ear. Because of that wear, I've been leaning toward EF-45. Do y'all agree? If not, what are the deciding factors in your decision? Thanks.

I would go EF-40. Has a few too many pock marks, especially on the cheek of Liberty. There are a bit too many rim nics also. That is one of the first place TPG graders look at and this coin has some pretty good ones on the reverse about 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock. All in all, still a nice coin. Can't beat a nice chunk of silver.

I lean towards agreement with Irishraider on this one, for the same reasons. It bears mentioning that the reverse, to me, makes 45 easily but the obverse does not. Worst side counts, so net EF40.

It should be noted that circulated coins often show nicer cheek detail due to wear than MS coins up to 64 - when a circulated coin has noticeable cheek problems, it carries quite a bit of weight.
