let's see if I'm learning anything untoned area was covered by another coin??? Any way agree spot on obverse detracts MS62
Well there isn't a neat crescent like you sometimes see, where another coin laid perfectly against it, just somewhat off center. But yeah, likely this coin was in a bag of jumbled dollars and the toned area was close to the bag canvas. I like how the toning over the eagle's head is kind of balanced, aesthetically pleasing to my eye.
Well, a few of you got it correct. It is MS63! Nice job @kSigSteve, @Robert Ransom, @KevinM! If anyone is interested, this coin is still on my ebay page that is linked in my signature below!
2 black spots above the forehead and a mark on the eagle's breast. The toning, at this point, seems to be a distraction rather than a attraction to me. 62 or less.
I agree that the black spots are not helping this coin, but I really think the marks by the mouth are what limited it to a 63. MHO.
