I just couldn't walk away from this coin. It has such a strong cameo appearance and should grade a strong PL. I know its a common date but I just couldn't walk away! image What do you think of her!

    Brian: Great cameo contrast. I would also have purchased this coin in a second. Very light die polish striations on the reverse. image

    What type of camera and lighting setup are you using? The photo is very clear and crisp. image

    The camera is a Nikon D70. I have 3 OTT lights in an upside down T to get proper coverage across the coin. Any thoughts on grade?

    MS-64 Semi-PL (Obv PL - Rev Semi-PL) -- although reflectivity is very tough to discern on the photos.
