I agree it is a perception, I just want my perception to get better and better. With time, I am sure it will.
Central devices pretty clean but George's neck is a bit nicked up and there's a pretty good pitmark in the right obverse field. I guess 64. Edit: well I just read Lehigh's post and it seems I "agreed" with the OP. Didn't even know until now you can check who voted which way in a certain poll.
I was gonna say 64. I compared it with my 1959 slabbed MS64 quarter and couldn't see any difference. But what do I know. It is a nice coin.
Based on the photos it is a 65, probably a strong 64 in hand. The toning may be covering some of the stuff you usually see close to the rim in the west obverse field. The lighting/nature of photos could be hiding other blemishes. Relatively weak strike, typical die cracks, I don't think what some of you are perceiving as wear actually is. I'll vote a liberal 65.
