This was probably the hardest coin to date for me to judge... the detail above the ear and in the hair always give me a hard time when trying to...
The second group of pics does show luster better imo.. the first shows details better.. no a bad combination.

The die crack on the head is an obvious strike flaw... MS63 max.. ; )
According to my inflation calculator this coin is now worth 7 cents..... I'll give you 100x that ?

same obv noise as the 51d and 42d,, plus a weaker strike,,, so imo 65.. plus 1 for my tendency to go low = 66.
