Okay, the feathers look like a weak strike and the mark probably held it back a grade. Not a bad looking coin overall but with the feathers alone I would have passed on buying this coin.
So it's MS64 because it's not wear per se, but a weak strike. I'm passing on it also because of that.
What do you think of the mint mark on this coin on ebay? Does it look funny? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1917-D-Obv...850811?hash=item4b6567d53b:g:HeIAAOSwlk1c8-em It looks like a nicer coin than this one that is slabbed at MS63, but compare the mint marks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1917-D-US-...:DY0AAOSwNNVeF70f:sc:USPSPriority!95461!US!-1 Thanks
