I voted Gem, the photos make me wonder if the marks on the obverse fields are from a light die polishing.
Coins are looked at thru a 10X loop at the most. I use a 4X. New from the mint has zero bearing on value in this instance. A late die state coin,...
At this level of magnification, your question is almost futile. This is common on Die Deteriorated coins. Step away from the 200X magnification...
I have been looking for them here in Denver. Haven't seen any yet.
I actually posted the coin from an educational stance. And I got the answer that I was after. Simply that if you don't know the history and you...

I would rather see Respect for the collector. Morality to set some standards. Ethics to stand up for the history. And a Backbone to stand up for...
Not exactly for a profit but a savings, some of us just hope that one day, the TPG's stop flooding the market with over graded coins, It is...
