    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I think it is also an MS65.

    Maybe 64. Maybe too many reed marks on obverse for 65?

    Does need a bath.

    Assuming it has a full complement of luster, the reed marking in that location wouldn't keep it out of a 65 holder. If they were on the portrait, then they would keep it down at MS64. As it is, the major focal points - portrait on the obverse, shield on the reverse - are very clean; clean enough to get it gem status.

    Ken...I think yours will look just like Russ' after you dip it with jeweluster.

    Funny thing about that is that mine has never been dipped.

    Ken,

    I can't tell how much noise there is in front of the ear, but I see a tick in the sideburn. There is the reeding mark at 2:00, and the spot at 8:00 on the obverse, and what looks like a milk spot at 8:00 on the reverse. The strike looks a little soft around the tail and the banner. There appear to be tiny abrasions by the designer's initials. There is a hairline from the eye to the center of the jaw, and a small hairline below the tick at 2:00 on the obverse.

    Having said all that, if lifting the haze reveals a nice clean surface without visible hairlines, and the milkspots disappear (haven't etched the surface), I'd say it's an easy 5. Otherwise, a solid 4. Post a pic when it's done and let us know.image
