This is a raw coin and I'm tempted to send it off to PCGS (actually have 4 just like this one). I know it's
a common date but would like some input as to what you all think. Sorry, but camera skills on MS coins
a lacking. This one is the best of the 4. Came out of 2 original rolls (from the early 60's). Thanks in advance,

    MS63-64 depending on how much the camera is hiding on the surfaces.

    There appears to be a die crack from the 8 O'clock position running through a star and ending near the chin, this may be a valuable VAM. However, I do not have my VAM guide in front of me nor do I have the bookmark on the laptop so some research would be required to know if it is valuable.

    Also, I noticed plenty of die abrasions on the coin, so I would loupe the coin front and back looking for remnants of a die clash, these would possibly place it into a valuable VAM which would add to their value.

    Present valuations for MS63 according to PCGS price guide is $52 and goes to $68 in MS64.

    Don't think that's a die crack, it's a remnant from a camel hair brush! What excellent eyes you have. It does not match any VAMS listed for 82-s
    but there is doubling of the top and middle arrows. The coin pictured has one small hit near the neck point and the rest is only luster breaks.
    None that I can see on the reverse. The issue in front of the nose is reflections only. Here's her sister:

    Under the 2 is that a die gouge or just a photographic relic?

    It may be worth sending your best one in for the quarterly grading special and then deciding from that wether to send in the other 3.
