    Could use better pictures. Maybe 64.

    Get pics straight on not angled into light to hide all the bag marks.

    I see 64-65 depending on how the luster looks on the cheek.

    Pics washed out with brightness - as stand with being able to see the bag marks but not the fields maybe a 64

    Pictures not the best, MS63 or 64 at the best.

    63 but will blame photos having to be taken through plastic for any error.

    I feel 63 due to the gouges and blemishes to the face/cheek and neck area.

    Very difficult to try to grade from your photos, but from what I can see, & what I can guess, I say 63, maybe a shot 64.

    Probably MS-64, but as others have said the too bright pictures can hide some marks. I learned that lesson with auction house pictures a decade ago.

    When I first saw this title, I thought that it might be a trick question. A fake 1885-CC dollar has cropped up in a fake GSA holder. The silver lettering on the holder is a little choppy, and the black insert is made of smooth cardboard without the little pebbles you see on the real thing.
