nice. i'll go with 65 then. i wasn't quite sure if the left and right obv fields were die polish or pls.
looks like it has some nice semi-pl properties.
Im gonna go 63 (without peeking)

IM guessing 63 also. The Obv especially has a lot of dings and small scuffs.

My first instinct is saying MS-63. That big hit on the cheek worries me that it may be lower.
MS64 and a Mint Set only issue, so I assume everything we're seeing are unstruck planchet flaws.
63
Tough piece. I'll guess 64

I'm torn. The obverse looks quite clean save for the big hit behind the cheek, and it's hard to tell just how much of what I'm seeing on the reverse is chatter, and if it is, how insignificant it is. I have found myself surprised many times that Ikes grade well higher than I'd expect based on the marks or other distractions (such as spotting/haze) they have. With that said, I'd guess it's in a 66 holder, but I'd prefer it in a 64/65 holder.
I'll guess 65
64
Mr_Spud
the only mark I see is in front of the ear, I like MS66
64

Lighting can give it the glamour shot. Peace Roy

Wow! Big difference!

I would have guessed 64.

Comparing the TV vs your own pic made me think of Canyon City, look like completely different coins. Just the observation of a know nothing noob.
Seller's pics, but yeah. I agree. A world of difference.

If I had seen the slab shot pic I would say MS60. Looks horrible compared to that TruView.

Not really, if you open the OP's image in another window it's larger and those marks are visible. The TrueView is taken raw and the in-holder image has lighting that accentuates the marks.
I was going to guess MS63... but I guess the TV was better than reality. Cheers, RickO
This is why a coin in hand is the best viewing method.
Unless the submitter paid for the Tru View feature, why would PCGS even bother to photograph this coin?
@Cuprinkor A better question would be why would someone even submit that coin.

I suppose . . . .
I would have said 65 based on the True View. That slab shot is crazy different.
Thats why its hard to guess grades from images. You can make an MS60 coin look like an MS70 depending on the lighting and angle.
I'll go 64
