<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3654484, member: 15309"]I don't know if I'm interpreting these photos correctly, but the obverse seems to have grainy surfaces and much less lustrous than the reverse. The strike is mediocre with flat lettering and date. There are luster grazes in the focal area along with a obvious pock mark on the cheek. And then there is that small scratch. If that is on the coin, I think it definitely precludes a gem grade. The reverse is better both in luster and strike, but there are still some light marks and I don't think it is good enough to boost the grade past that of the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming the scratch on the neck is on the coin, I'm going with MS64, otherwise I say MS65.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
