MS65, get an upgrade to 66.

65?

I used to have a 1904-O in an MS65 PL green label holder, come to think of it. If yours is PL, I can't tell from the pic.

I'd like to call it an MS66 because it has tremendous eye appeal and a better strike than your typical New Orleans mint. Also because I have an 1883-o that looks just like it

and if other people think this one is a 66 then I need to send mine in.

I see the blow-up of the reeding in the field, but it doesn't look very deep. I'd say 65, but depending on which day it was submitted, it could have done better.

Got to be a 66. Great coin!

The eye appeal is excellent on this coin - it's not PL though. Good luster, good strike. I don't consider upgrading coins very often but have been thinking about this one. The reedmark in front of her nose is very mild - invisible except at the right angle. The cheek is very clean except for the one nick. There is a mark at the base of her neck, but is mild and out the focal area.

I was wondering how seriously the reed mark would be considered.
