This coin was graded by ngc.
I took it out of a damaged slab.
I am considering sending it in to pcgs. I will send the ngc grade after I receive opinions/comments from forum members on this coin.
Thank you in advance.
Please note, I tried to capture the reflective surface of the coins field in the pictures.

Looks like a 63 possible PL but can't tell from photos

I think the sizable gash on the cheek will limit this one to MS63, and without mirrors on the reverse, a PL designation is unlikely. NGC sometimes gives "stars" to one-sided PL coins like yours, so there's a chance at that happening. Luster and strike are great, but the contact marks on the obv hold this one back from gem.
Gumby1234: I tried a different angle for pictures.
63
If it’s an older NGC holder it might even have been a 62. I’ve got a few really NICE ones from this date/mm that only made that grade in the old “Fatty’s”.
Nice coin there regardless! 62-63 is my guess.

I would say no PL but definitely a nice look to it.

I'm going to be positive on this one and say it reached 64... I like it but it needs a little color....

Looks like a 63 to me.... so many marks and some on focal areas. Cheers, RickO
Very nice one side PL. If it wasn't for the hit down Liberty's check you had a shot at 65. MS63
Based on the marks that show in the second image, my guess would be MS62.

I would guess an average Unc; these issues, 78s come nice and it is very hard to get them to go PL or to grade gem unless they are really nice.
I think it's MS 63. About a hundred bucks. That's my line for grading unless I think I could be being too conservative.
Thank you for the comments.
Ngc graded this coin ms64
Unfortunately, my pictures do not show the coins reflective field well. In hand it reminds me of my 1887 pl and dmpl
Bas3d on comments I decided not to send it in and use it in a trade.

No hairlines which is a big positive. These used to be cheaper but now are over $200 in MS64.
On grading the coin, it has many positive attributes; no hairlines, the grazes are relatively inconspicuous not in grade sensitive areas. Without them it would probably be an MS66.
