MS65 possibly PL but not sure about the obverse.

 

Remember, PL - isn't the frosted details - it is the Mirrored fields that designate it as such!

 

On that same sheet of music here.

I won't speak for Dave, but for me it's the character of how the reflection returns off the left side of the obverse that makes me think the coin doesn't reach PL. I don't even look at the devices when considering reflectivity.

A similar coin I once had, demonstrating what I'm talking about. It was brilliantly lustrous, probably only a few strikes from PL, but wouldn't have gotten there:





With all that said, if the coin is actually PL I won't argue. No way to be sure from images.

 

So you're inconclusive is your judgment on this coin? So in a little while when the sun comes up....I will re-shoot the obverse and reverse and post another view of the entire surface area of this specimen .


**Please wear protective eye wear while viewing**

 

Exactly. It appears to have more of a cartwheel lustre, but it could just be the photo playing tricks. Looking forward to more images Paddy...

Let's see if these will do as using my phone's camera is difficult to get a shot that's not one sided due to the placement of the lens.

 

Now for some reasons I don't know the Reverse looks better in the image than the obv. both have the same fields in hand. Just can't get the lighting right to show on the images.
Next I am just about 100% sure of the Vam being a 95 have a look at the S on this monster. I've never had my scope unable to get the image of a MM spot on this one I had to try all sorts of tricks to get the image. It maybe caused by trying to shoot a mirror like surface.

 

If I take your word on the dash below the 8 - required for VAM-95, and I can't see it in the images - I'm still left thinking the doubling in your mint mark more resembles the 45/49/51/51A than 95. Is the MM tilted as hard right as it seems in these images?

 

I can't get past the abrasions on the cheek but I also seem to under grade these when I am able to blow the picture up huge.

My first impression was MS63 Proof Like.

 

There's a dash under the 8 and all the vams you have suggested have been ruled out by the process of going through the entire list of vams by pups. The mm may have taken a hit in the bag. IDK....but all the other have been eliminated one by one.

 

65 maybe DM...have to see it in person.

 

The lack of matching pick up points can't necessarily be used to rule out a vam

 

65PL

 

63

 

I will defer to the guy with the coin in his hand, then. Haven't we already had this conversation?
