[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 438827, member: 5233"]OK, let me give this a shot. My first thought when I looked at this was to look very closely for wear (even more than I usually do with MSish coins posted) because of Lehigh's fondness of "AU64" coins. With this coin, looking at the hair above the ear and breast feathers...I don't see anything that jumps out as luster breaks, so I'm inclined to think that this coin is in fact MS. I see a couple little tiny nicks on Liberty but nothing that hurts the eye appeal. The eagle on the reverse is about the same. I think it's enough to keep the coin from grading MS67, but nothing more severe than that. The fields on this coin do have some bag marks but again it doesn't impact eye appeal much. However, I do see a couple marks...the one specifically on the obverse below the L that does stick out. Combine this with a good strike for an O minted coin, and I'd call this coin MS65. So, [b]MS65[/b] is my say.[/QUOTE]
