What do y'all think about this SMS half?

I realize the image is a bit rough, but it's all I have to offer:
The reverse is a knock-out. The obverse has really nice mirrors, but not nearly the same frost and contrast as the reverse, there's a faint spot on the neck, and it is also hairlined all to heck. A brief look at the pops and '67 seems to be the most commonly found SMS half in cameo, which makes me think I should save my money and spare this one the trip west. Other opinions?

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

You have correctly assessed the situation. Still a nice coin, but more suited for an album than a slab.
