    Very nice!
    Good strike.
    I'd say either a 63 or 64. I'm leaning toward 63 due to cheek chatter.

    How's the luster?
    Always looking for attractive rim toned Morgan and Peace dollars in PCGS or (older) ANA/ANACS holders!

    Nice ms64 IMHO. What's up with her upper lip? Is it just the pic or is something going on there?

    I had to take a closer look, nothing special going on, that would be a small hit on the ladys lip.

    MS63 with a shot at 62 if what I think are hairlines across the cheek actually are.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Don't wanna come across as a smartass(which on occasion I've been known to be image) but is that not luster circled in red ??

    It's an MS-63. There are too many little marks on the cheek to be an MS-64.

    If it was a Carson City coin, sometimes the grading services get lax and give MS-64s to coin like this, but for a common date Philly coin, there is not chance of that.

    Herb, drop the white foam background. Shoot with the grey background that is on the baseboard of the copystand.

    The foam is kinda off white and I like using it for the softness factor, next pics I take I'll lose the foam.

    63 tops.... and needs a little tone! image
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !

  • Pretty much in agreement with others at MS63!

    Should make 63. It wouldn't utterly shock me if it made 4, but I think that's a bit much.
  • Thanx all for your opinions.

    I thought 64 but I'll call it a 63, wouldn't wanna overgrade image
