@mpcusa At first glance your 1909/8 looks like a solid MS62. I‘m jealous and would have done as well.
It could be, it's tough to see from photos. GDJMSP here has shown pictures of coins with different angles and lighting and you would SWEAR it was a totally different coin.
The MS-63 really boggles my mind, no eye appeal at all and the price ! the markings and scratches are pretty evident, so I wouldn’t think other photos would show anything different.
