All I thought about today is my new arrival. Will it be frosty and SPL like the listing images? 2 lights or 3? It's darn nice for a 64 IMO.

+1 - go for the gold!

Can't at the moment, I've already cracked it out, to many scuff marks, shooting the coin raw is much easier.

The 'S' looks a little "filled in" to me. Maybe that's normal.?

I'd be plenty ticked off if I sent it in for grading and it came back 64.

The only hold back might be the chatter on the neck.

I too would have been disappointed if this came back a 64.
It's solid for tht grade, perhaps worthy of more....

Most of the time, myself included, folks look at the cheek and pass quick judgement. They forget to look around or under the eye and around the chin.
I suspect those hits under the eye will hold it to 64+. The black scuffs on the reverse are not helping matters. For whatever reason, it is a tougher coin to have graded 65.
I love the look!
Are you referring to the marks under IN of IGWT? These aren't black when held in hand and believe are part of the minting process. Die striations? Can someone help me out with the proper term? Reshot it, the coin is white as white can be.
Your pics are very nice. I am sticking with my 64+. That is a distracting mark under the eye.
In the OGH or Rattlers, it would have gone 65. Not today.
The other MS-65 posted is what I mean. They are tough on 65's in this date. I have a lot of 64's.
Cheers!

Since you were talking about images recently I don't think the blue pictures do much for the coin. Your OP images are better. A little flat. Adjust lighting for better contrast? Two lights, high and directly above. Color is a bit off too. White balance tint and temp can be fixed. And a little less exposure? More like this (but there's only so much that can be done from the jpg).
