Looks like a nice 64. Nice lustre.

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
You're peaking my interest in a set I put aside a few years ago

My guess fits with most everyone else's so I will keep you guessing.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
I'm thinking of submitting it as a crack out but was wondering if the strike would preclude gem status (first few feathers are weak at the tips, but the last ones are nice). Another poster said the strike is actually very good for this date, so I'm thinking more and more this one has a shot at 65.
Die cracks are raised on the coin, hub cracks are sunken on the coin - and show up on many dies.
It is very useful to keep dies and hubs differentiated. Dies have a sunken image, hubs have a raised image.
I think you should leave it in the MS64 holder (if that is what it is). MS65 is wishful thinking.
I see it as a 64 at best ... only because of the striking deficiency in the forward feathers and lower left wreath. I do agree with assessment that 65 is wishful, and disagree with the fact that this is well struck for the date.
