Beautiful coin, by the way. Surfaces are pure as it gets, the strike is sensational and it gets high marks for eye appeal.

These coins are very common in high grade, and they were well made. For that reason you will see some very attractive examples in sub MS-65 graded holders.
Nice coin. I like it as a 66.
What a nice coin. I hope it goes 66+ for you! Has a shot.

Although the frost break on the cap put a ceiling on the grade
<< <i>Coins like this are tough. Depending on how critical they feel like being about the depth of the scratches on the left field at the moment the coin is graded there can be big variations on the final grade. I've seen coins like this grade as high as MS66 or as low as MS64 or somewhere in between. At $130 there is some possibility of financial downside as well as decent upside. >>
My thoughts exactly....personally based on the images I can't imagine it going any lower than MS65 and it certainly looks to be in the MS64 ballpark but I have gotten some surprises myself from time to time.
Great pick-up!!

Had that same haze in the fields on the right side that yours does and PCGS called it altered surfaces. I think you need to put some acetone on the surface and see if it evaporates quickly and naturally (good)
or sits there like a pool (very bad).

The assigned grade seems very appropriate. Nice score, FTB. You seem to have an eye for good deals.
