I'd guess MS64.
Hmm... Are those die polish lines, scratches, or hairlines at 2:00 relative to the sun on the obverse? The pics leave a lot of ambiguity.
MS68!

Damn, ya beat me to it!
I was thinking 64 or 65

Well you did good at 20$ - I'm not sure why the court jesters are screwing with you........

63-64 if problem free, but the right obverse field looks funny, and if it’s a surface impairment, it’s a details coin.
If those are die polish lines someone at the mint needed to be fired.
I looked at the spot and it just looks hazy like white spotted
Lines in between sun look kinda raised from here. Perhaps op could take a look.
Is that for the ddo fs-101?
If those are indeed die polish lines, then I would give it a mint state 64.

Nope, the leg and E pluribus unum are the pick up points esp on an early die state as they did a full run with the die

Do you know why he wanted to know about the sun lines
Looks Gem to me.
I agree about the right obverse field. That, along with some other areas, causes me to think the coin is MS63, at best.

I would grade it 63.... Field scratches above the sun... dings in the field and on the leg, scratches in the field and wing on the reverse....Cheers, RickO

Pie plate blowups are misleading at times IMO, and the fields and leg look fairly minor; the marks about the sun look raised to me on magnification. That said I am in the 64 camp as it has nice color and the key areas of the sun, head and breastplate look clean with a modest strike. In fact, FROM THE PICTURES, the sun looks better than the marred MS68 coin that has been so argued about.
Well, just Love coins, period.
Beautiful coin either way, great buy.
A huge aspect on how the coin is graded will be the nature of what appear to be significant scratches in the obverse field. If those are scratches and not die polish lines it’s going to kill the grade to a 63 or even a 62 given how they are bundled together to become a major distraction in what is otherwise a very nice coin.
AU-64. Very nice coin but there appears to be some possible rub in Liberty's legs. Still an interesting coin.
I think the reference is to a bunch of lines between the rightmost 2 long sun rays. scratches or die polish? If die polish I think ms64
I’m in the 63 crowd
The lines within the rays look to be consistent with die polish. I see see as 63 topps and a perfect 7070 /Whitman blue/Library of coins album type set candidate. I would not submit...
