Hello all. I'm seeking opinions on a new purchase. I knew about the spots when I got it. Hadn't been able to see the finger print in the right obverse field (truthfully didn't notice until I took the pics). Love the overall look of the coin, I am a fan of hazy light color. What do you guys think? Too hazy? Too spotty? Does the not so noticeable print kill it for you guys? To me the coin is relatively clean, well struck, and looks original.

Nice strike, nice luster, appears to be some faint light blue toning on the obverse.
A little chatter, a few spots, and the faint print slightly detract from an otherwise gem walker.

The coin looks Gem 65. Decent strike and nice luster. The only distraction that I see are the fingerprints.

I dont see it being less than a 66. Ill go 66+ as my final answer!

Nicely struck. Is the mark from top of eagle's wing a die crack? Spotting and haze around 'Half' (hopefully on the holder plastic). MS64.
The strike is a strong attribute. Nice coin.

Looks like a 65 to me.... Coin has luster, some minor marks.... Cheers, RickO
64 - strike is too weak to make 65+.

well struck in my opinion, Luster and strike make up for the spots
I say MS 65
Spot on, I'm at 65
The rim on the front and portions of the back have hazy blue color to them. The coin is really flashy and appealing in hand.
That is indeed a die crack. And the spotting on the reverse is all on the holder.
Thanks everyone for their guesses and comments. I'll reveal the grade tonight.
Nice looking coin. I'm in the MS 65 camp.

Alright folks a handful got it right. Coin is 66. I like it and think it has solid eye appeal for the grade.
Thanks to those who participated.
