MS-64\5, i can't see the coin too well.

 

MS-64 there are contact marks behind liberty's head along with a detracting mark by the second 8 in the date 1886. The reverse is nice though probably MS-65

 

MS 64. Could be a 65, but the pics are too out of focus to tell for sure...Mike

 

I am going with a MS63 to MS64 (but more toward 63). I think the strike is weak and their are many marks throughout the fields.

 

MS-63 with a possible VAM Reverse designation. I wouldnt know the VAM number
since I dont study them, but there is definitely something going on with the right leg .

Metaman, I noticed that too. That odd mark also appears where a mintmark would go if the coin had one. I believe it is just a problem with the NGC case. I don't know VAM's either but if it is something you have found something strange and remarkable to me.

 

Naw, the mark on the rt. leg is a scratch on the holder

Here is the final grade.
