    Alright, I got a little wild this past week. I found some good deals that I couldn't pass up.
    Please vote in the poll if you don't want to type your guess.
    I believe that this is a VAM-22 doubled right and left stars.

    I grade it as 62pl, but I bet it has 63pl on the label

    My first GTG in a while! I'm going with my instincts and and call it a 63PL. It has pretty nice frosty devices set against darker fields. The texture of the fields make me think they are not quite deep enough for DMPL at least by today's standards. A 63 DMPL would not surprise me though, since it is in an older holder.

    My first thought was 63PL as it has so many marks on both sides. Not an attractive coin in my opinion.

    I will post the reveal later this evening.
    Great guess's so far. Glad to see that no one has crossed into the MS65 column.;)

    MS 63 PL
    ...baggy but not enough to fall to 62...the photo shows enough contrast to make me fairly confident it is at least a PL but not enough to call it dmpl

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Been a lot going on so I've been less active recently, but I'll answer a summons.

    I'm going to go 63PL. Obverse might be borderline DPL, but reverse holds it back. Biggest limiter to the grade are the somewhat severe marks in the obverse left field, and the chatter on her cheek. Now, I understand that PL magnifies these marks (especially on the frosted cheek). The marks on her cheek would be consistent with a 64. I think the fairly severe hits in the field limit it to 63, though.

    Attractive coin!

    62 PL. Could be DMPL. Too baggy for a higher grade. Really nice cameo.

    Everytime I gtg of a PL coin, I’m under by one grade. As a consequence, I am now adding 1 grade to my initial impression. My first instinct was MS63, so my guess is MS64 PL.

    Glad to be back! The last year and a half has been one of the toughest in my life. Coins really had to take a back seat. I'm slowly getting back into being able to enjoy them and back out on the hunt!

    Keep an eye out for a GTG from me very soon... :)
