It's a gorgeous example and quite clean. From the photos, I'd like it to be just a bit brighter for a 67, so I'll say 66. But if I were told it's in a 67 holder, I'd be fine with it. A 65 holder and I'd wonder what I'm missing.
The coin below the toning is MS-65. With the toning, MS-66.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

I see some chatter in the fields which is why I said 65. The toning is superb, but I don't think it should bump the grade a full point -- maybe a +, or it gets the higher grade in a "liner" situation.
Not sure. I'm looking at it now. Even with the normal die polish, the luster is there.
The two tiny hits on the reverse are all I can see with a glass.
I'm happy with it.

It is in an old NGC 65 holder.
I think it could 66 but I will probably never try it.
The coin below the toning is MS-65. With the toning, MS-66.
Well... Just missed the deadline... was thinking MS66 though.... Cheers, RickO
65 for me.

Personally I believe that it is a superb gem, but there may be a few grading grinches who may see it as AT.

I don't think I have ever seen anyone suggest that.
I'm sure it could happen but that would be a stretch.
My first thought is 67 and so is my second. Let’s go with 67!

Ooops, I lied. That is a hit on the obverse to the lower right of DIRIGO. Got to look close.
MS 66 with GREAT eye appeal!!
