Some 1964 Kennedys...your opinions? Large pic

Hey there. Took some pics of some 1964 Kennedys I have.
Whats your opinion on them? What grade would you give them (they are not graded) excluding the scar on his cheek?
The scar under Kennedys face and marks on his neck were only on this one, the others I have don't have marks that noticable, but less luster.

**Note: These are two different coins, but both are basically identical so I took the picture like this.

    With the fingerprints, scratches, dings, and friction - I'd say AU50.

    That 64 could be a 64 (no jaw rub), but what do I see above and left of the "6?"

  • If Im looking at the right coin (Ive got about 50 1964 Kennedys that look the same), the mark above the 6 looks to be just a scratch that was somehow brilliantly magnified by the picture. In person its actual barely noticable. The picture really brings out the scratches, like they are radiation spots...haha..

  • 62 maybe 63 tops.

    MS 63 at best at PCGS, VERY outside MS 64 at NGC, doubt it. Just keep on trying. I wouldn't waste the time/money on that one. Getting the MS 65 and above MS Kennedy coins are a BIG challenge in the years before 1971! Ray

    MS62
    - chance of body bag for those parrallel lines on the reverse.
    - change of AU58 for rub on the cheek.

    I you have 50 that all look alike, you are not looking close enough. Photograph 4 at the level you have, then note each mark. The 4 lists will be very different (except almost all will have cshield scrapes!).
    Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!
