Great detail, the feathers are nice and sharp, color is alittle dark and its impossible to determine the amount of luster from the pics, I'll say MS66BN if the luster is all there MS64BN if its not. Nice pickup.

WOW. Really? That's great!
The coin has a lot of luster and the fields are toned in green, and fire-like red/yellow/orange. Definitely brown, though.
I was thinking it has no chance to grade over MS63 because of the scratch on the cheek.
I wish the scratch was anywhere else other than the cheek \:\(
Would be awesome if it got a 64!

Btw, it seems like the N in "one", the NT in "cent" and the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA have some kind of doubling or shifting..?

IHC's are not an area that I collect; I'm a Lincoln guy at heart; so I could be off on my high side guess but I cannot see it getting lower than a 64 even with the mark on the cheek. Alot of IHC's have some strike doubling, the only book I have on IHC varietites does'nt show anyting for this date but hopefully someone more versed in the series can provide more info.

Took the coin out of the 2x2 flip to try and take better pics.
some of the pics don't show all details, because i tilted the coin just to show the luster and colors.
hopefully these are easier to work with.
also included a close-up of the top left part of the wreath where there seems to be a problem. pics are blown up and show some marks and tiny spots that i did not see even with a loupe.

care to guess the grade?

Thank you all for your help!
