[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2768437, member: 19165"]Yeesh, this one is tricky! Your pictures absolutely make it look PL. If it is not designated as such on the holder there are two options: the TPG's messed up, or your pictures are making it look better than it is. Anyways, for the grade: Strike: 66. Full feathers, nearly full hair, this is a good strong strike. Luster: 65PL. As discussed above, the luster definitely appears prooflike in these pics. It looks to be a flashy coin. Eye Appeal: 64. The reverse looks really nice. The obverse has some really ugly hazy, cloudy areas which hurt the eye appeal for me. What really kills it, though, is the spot on her temple. Contact marks: 64? The reverse, again, looks pretty clean. The obverse is hard to tell - the cheek looks fairly clean, but with a few marks. The fields, however, seem to have quite a few tickmarks. As lehigh mentioned, it is really tricky to grade this type of coin, because the prooflike fields tend to magnify every little tick. All this comes out to a 64PL for me, from these pictures. I really wouldn't be surprised by a 65PL, though.[/QUOTE]
