Also, take a gander at the enlargement from the cheek area. What is this, almost looks like a patch of some type. I can understand the die chip, but the surrounding football shape is odd to me. It is not a details coin.

    Hard to evaluate the luster from the pics. I’m leaning 64FB.

    As for the area on the cheek, is it just variance in toning?

    Does the neck spot look 3d? No idea about it.
    Really like the coin. MS64+FB?

    Appears to be a die chip that has been struck and part flattened onto the cheek surface, just so happened to be a vertical football shape. Just got me buffaloed. Not sure what it is truly.

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    65 Fully Rounded Bands. Worthy of a premium over the usual
    flat split band. Nice.
