At least it didn't have PVC. Abrasions kept it from stickering as a MS67. Would it then sticker as a MS66+?
My guess is it would sticker as a 66 (or 66+, since CAC ignores plus grades), except in the unlikely situation that JA thinks it's two points overgraded at 67, which I highly doubt would be the case here.
I would have to agree with @BillJones on the tone, it looks far more subdued then the TrueView shows. Add to that the overall appearance of the coin and the CAC assessment seems logical. Don't take this the wrong way, but I would expect at a future date that CAC will approve this coin, either as is or a different holder. Knowing collector excitement over these OGH's I would consider this a coffin coin, entombed right where it is.

Agree. It's not an unattractive piece but when I saw the marks I immediately thought "no sticker" on this one. The good news is that the holder will eventually make you or your heirs some money amongst the slab type collecting community, even if the absence of a sticker doesn't. jmho

Nothing is as expensive as free money.

Despite your warning, I'm afraid I may have indeed taken this the wrong way, because this statement seems to conflict with the rest of your comment.

RIP Mom- 1932-2012
Ain't that a bitch. Beautiful coin nonetheless I'd probably stick it in an album and wait for a sucker like @Cougar1978 to come along. Jus playin
