From my cellphone;
It looks like a 64

Nice coin!

 

64

 

63. Too many marks on cheek and neck. And also the hits on PEACE

 

62, perhaps 63.

 

Those are some large contact marks I will venture out and say MS 62.

 

AU

 

63

 

Your lighting has the beneficial effect of really calling out the actual marks on the coin, making a technical evaluation easy. The obverse is undoubtedly MS64, with a case for 65. There's nothing of note on the cheek, and the marks behind the eye and at neck/jaw junction fade because of their location, as does the chatter in the hair. Those 3 on the neck proper are small. All of them are far less intrusive on a 38mm coin than an image which measures (on my monitor) 10" in diameter. We sometimes forget that we grade coins actual-size, and need to develop perspective about huge images

The fields are nearly pristine. I'd give this one 65 on the spot, but....

....the wheelmark through PEACE on the reverse is disturbing, and makes me wonder if I need to consider this a Details coin, much less a 65. Aside that, there's somewhat-hidden chunks out of the R in DOLLAR and the center of the wing, as well as the highlighted reeding hit on the leg. Again, the fields are unmarked.

Aside the wheelmark (I'm using that as a descriptive term, not a diagnostic one), this coin is a slam dunk MS64 and likely 65. A little less busy on the neck and I'm contemplating 66. With it, I don't know. It's a shame, because this is otherwise a good one. You don't see fields this clean very often.

 

I'm at ms 64

 

63

 

63 +

 

61

 

A definite technical 64. Might have graded 63+ due to some of the locations of the bag marks, could go 64+ if the graders were in a good mood.

When do we get the reveal?

 

Hey man, what's the big reveal??

64

I like the toning on the reverse.

 

63 camp here. The cheek is clean and the fields too for the most part but the distracting hits on the neck and hair line and the reeding impression and other hits on the eagle make me think it will come back 63.

 

63

 

I would have to say that the tone is off. cleaned 64 maybe a +
