I personally like it as a strong 64, but a 64+ or even 65 could be possible. The marks on her cheek are very light frost breaks rather than hard hits. But I would be happy with a 64PL
I found this one at a show one day. When ANACS was having a special I sent it off. Here's a crappy image of the S/S
1838 N-4,R.2. I got this as a 1838 large cent on buy it now for $38.00. It spent some time in acetone and I was pleased with the results.
My avatar is my find from a dealers junk bin. A 1873 ddo “doubled liberty” on the headband in VF condition. I almost fell out of the chair, I was shaking. I paid $3 for it. I bought several from his junk bin so he gave me 75% off of all of them. That was a great day.
There are no DDOs attributed for the 1864 L which would make this a discovery coin. The S-12 isn't common and tough to find a good photo of. I found this one on Heritage that shows the same doubling as this coin. Snows attribution guide only shows the date and the bottom of the bust and has the same doubling at the end of the ribbon and hair curls. I still think it is a S-12 but if there is enough doubt it may be worthwhile submitting the photos to David Poliquin for his Web Book. https://coins.ha.com/itm/indian-cen.../1204-8251.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515
Interesting, and thank you Treashunt and Hoky for pointing this out. The terms you guys are using are all foreign to me, though.... I only noticed the doubling when I blew up the photo that I posted. It seems doubled on only one side of the letters, but also on some of the feathers. The HA pictures do not seems to show doubling of the feathers...
Hellloooo from Montana, I found this piece one Sunday evening on my last roll. I opened the roll heard a popping sound and this was on the floor 1964D Lincoln Penny STRUCK THROUGH PLASTIC LIKE MATERIAL USED IN THE LAMINATION PROCESS ( Has anyone seen this piece before?) Those other 5 pictured have the very same material on them. Our last local coin show I brought this and many other errors. I was goosebumps the entire time I was hearing what I already new despite false info which I recieved on a facebook group. Any how these 3 1999P State Quarters which are minted on the Manganese Copper experimental planchet, a 1996D Washington Quarter which Im thinking is Die Clashed EVERYWHERE ON BOTH SIDES these will be the first 5 I send in for Grading and Auction.
Eduard: That is the point: "It seems doubled on only one side of the letters," Longacre doubling, named after the designer, shows on both sides of the lettering. Here only on one side, plus the throat seems doubled. Could be a new discovery

I prefer the David Poliquin site at indiancentvarieties.com He has pictures of all of the varieties and updates his web-book whenever he finds a new variety. The one time I emailed him about a coin, he was very quick to respond. Here's the most recent addition: http://indiancentvarieties.com/1862_variety039.html
