Am I seeing interesting die crack through E Pluribus? For some odd reason Libertys' chin seems off, but that's probably the scotch (Costco only had Dewers [no Johnny Walker]) '65

 

Lots of die cracks on both sides and maybe some die polish on the reverse.
MS-64

 

MS-65. Die cracks Galore!

 

I'm going all-in and guessing MS 66

...I see some die cracks and a relatively clean coin overall (the only worrisome area being the scuffs on the cheek but some of those might be luster grazes/less severe than the photo suggests)

 

Does anybody see a strike- through on the reverse? I thought of possible strike through grease, or die polish in the wings area???

 

Looks like there is mention of die polish on the reverse.

Fine die scratches in various directions on over polished tail feathers around eagle’s right leg, between eagle's left wing and body and in middle of eagle's right wing.

she's a beauty but I had to stop at 64+ that chin ding keeps her out of gem take away that ding and I'd say 66 no problem

 

Look at the luster grazes below the cheek, this wasn't messed with. The reverse die was worked over a little, you can see the polish lines. Both dies are a little cracked up. Small cut on the chin. Fields look clean enough for gem. MS65.

 

65

 

I am in at gem MS65, the luster says 66 or better though.
So are you buying this one @Morgandude11
I see a lot of die polishing on the reverse.

 

MS65

 

What's going on with the obverse rim from just past 3 to just past 6 o'clock?

 

It's struck a horse-hair out of chamber.

 

I think the coin was struck slightly off center, by a small amount. Look at the alignment of obverse and reverse.

I'm going to say 63 as they might of put a little pressure on it,easily gem today though and really nice character.

 

I will go 64 as there is a little jump at 65. Die cracks have already been mentioned. Seems to be a die clash noticeable on the reverse. Spike in the wing to G in IGWT. Something also in the A in States.

 

66+

 

Thats the soft insert to keep the coin from rattling in the holder.
