I picked this one up at the ANA in Irving a couple weeks ago and wanted to see what the CU Members had to say about her in comparison to our host.
Thank you for your interest and comments!

Very nice coin.... MS65 or 66 I would say.... some hairlines on the obverse, but do not look like cleaning....Cheers, RickO
very pretty

What's not to like?64
Put me down for 64.....
MS63

Yesterday an MS-63. Today an MS-64. The combination of the marks next to her jawbone and the hairlines in the right obverse field bring it down to the MS-63 level IMO.
Sweet coin.
MS-65 is my guess.
I was thinking the same thing as BillJones....and I will add that I really like that light peripheral tone!
Nice

Overall a MS-63 but the obverse marks are very distracting to me.
unless that is die polish on lower obverse right field, I am going to go with UNC details scratch - but I hope I am wrong for you.
I'll go 64 but find the tic-tac-toe type scratches in front of the chin distracting.
62 or 63
hits on jaw and in field.

58+ or 62 ->runs to hide

Frosty pq look, high grade, it may depend on the luster.
I like it at 63, but I am hoping for ya, they didnt go 58. Little rub on top right of shield and right wing.

Put me in the 63 (possibly 64) camp. Very nice.

Nice 58
58 would have been my guess, but I didn't want to be a downer.
On the Reverse, besides the arc scratch? between HALF and DOLLAR, the reverse looks pretty nice! The obverse has way too much contact to be called mid-MS as many have said. The lower right field looks like it might even have a tic tack toe board, the face/neck/jaw marks etc, then the luster breaks on the hat etc.... This could be anything from Genuine-(CLEANED-GRAFFITI-SCRATCH-ETC), AU or low MS. Hard to really say since we can't see everything in one photo.
