I haven't got the coin in hand yet, but the person I bought it from assures me the luster is nice (and I trust them)
I'm of the opinion that the 1900 is closer to ms-65 than the 1901. I would grade the 1901-o a ms-64 at best.

Nesvt, it is in fact a Vam 38! You helped me identify the Vam in a prior thread :bow:
It has a very nice satiny luster. Very strong eye appeal.
The companies don't substract for die cracks, as they aren't damage, but rather inherent to the strike.
The pics aren't manipulative in any way, I took them myself.
I can't decide if this one should come back as a ms-64 or 65. The reverse is very clean (the scratches around the eagle are raised, so I believe...
I'd say its a solid 64
