What makes this 1907 Indian $10 MS64, not 65?

Maybe it is a 65. Or not.

Those photos are really washed out. Overexposed. It's possible there are missing flaws which don't show up. On the reverse, in the field about 9 o'clock.

Looks like a great coin, though. Must have in hand to know for sure.

The TPGs are very picky when it comes to giving a 65 grade on $10 Indians. The photo appears a little overexposed. Look at the fixed image below & you can see some of the nicks that may have just kept it from 65.

Are you going to the Fun show? It may be a 64.8 waiting for you at FUN.

Very best regards,

The reverse is what keeps that one a 64. Lots of hits, rim dings.
