65, weak strike for a philly.
Strike may be a bit on the weak side, but the coin is phenomenal! I'm at 67 on this one.

@RickO favorite year and color. Nice looking half.
I think that the weaker strike and some small hits on the reverse keep it from a higher grade. I'll guess a 66.
66….agree with the strike. I had to check the reverse to see if it was really a D mint mark.

These true views are flattering. Still, somewhat of a later die state, lots of bounce in that luster, give the girl 66.

It's a very nice half and 67 doesn't surprise me, it has a very clean obverse and I am sure it just glows in hand. If it had a sharper strike I would have guessed higher yet.
66.
Not even one tiny blemish in the fields, so I understand the WHY of the MS 67, despite the substandard strike. Congrats.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
