Yes that is the reason I thought it looks much better than a 63. The scuff doesn't look that deep. The reason is probably it is dirty or the toning. But I do agree with you on that regarding the condition of the coin. Also the other reason I've bought this coin is because of the rim toning. Pretty looking coin and it is a Rev 79 as well. Thanks for the input.
Hope the dealer did not tell you that was a 79 rev. It is a rev of 78 Are you going to send this to a TPG? Still think it is a MS64.
I would say depending on the scuff on the cheek and how it looks in hand 64-65. Because of the luster and toning I could see this at MS65. -SC
