It has a few minor ticks on neck as you can see(vampire)image.The stk looks good except above the forhead,a little weak.Do you all think it has a shot at 64?.Has full rounded bands,and a clean reverse.Thanks Al24-S Merc

    Here goes. Tried to blow the photo up and did so but it was somewhat distorted. I think I saw a hit right in the middle of the middle band that might keep it from FB designation. The hits on her neck may put it into 63 but I think it is a 64. Looked like there was some die clash right in front of her nose.

    I'll say 63 for sure and full bands if I am wrong about the hit on the middle band. Fair shot at 64 also I believe.

    Anyway I Like It. Let Me know if I am Full of Caa Caa on this evaluation. image

    I'm thinking it is on the lower MS end. It looks as if there is a fingerprint on the obverse. And the line on the cheek, looks a bit on the large size.

    I would venture a guess at a 62 or 63, but not FB.

    AL:

    If the hit is there I'll go 64 on the coin. PCGS or NGC would maybe bump it a point to 64 for the nice strike for the date. Seems like thats how it works to me. The Tone will help it out also, originality counts.

    Are you going to send it in ? If so let us know what the result is. image

    Boy, that is a nice original 24-S. I'll go with Ken on the 64. Plenty of strike for FB if not closed by hit.
    Very nice coin.
