First coin is one I had graded. The rest are for fun. This series is very challenging to grade IMO.

    61- There are what looks like faint scrapes on the reverse above the eagle's back.

    No marks on the cheek, no noteworthy marks or hits in the fields either…. I’ll guess 64 as well.

    I'd say they're all winners, choice; probably MS64 or better.

    Luster is key on these. and you just can't get a good read on it in most photos. The coin should go 65 if the luster is all there. Here's one that is a PCGS 65 CAC, and you'd never guess how stunning it is in hand from the photo. They're as hard to capture in a photo as they are to grade.

    Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.

    feeling pessimistic and imagining a cheek rub, I'll guess 58

    Revealed:

    64
    65
    65+
    65

    I’ve examined many in 64-65 and it feels like it depends how the grader feels that day.

    A lot of MS coins seem to have cheek and reverse wing rub…but I’m no expert.
