Looks like a nice enough coin, but no better than about a 63 or 64 because of the scratch on the cheek. The reverse actually looks pretty nice, like a solid 65.
I would think that scar on the cheek would have knocked it down lower than 67 (but then maybe the scratch is on the holder). I'm pretty sure percentage wise if there was a scratch with the same ratio on a Dime it wouldn't get higher than 64.

99.8% positive feedback. This usually indicates most buyers are happy with what they buy in spite of the grades assigned. Grading is subjective. I just don't like calling it, that's why I send mine to PCGS.
MS63 or AU58 ? It's got authentic written all over it

Gee, what a coincidence!
I bought one of their coins once, 1884-O Morgan, CSI graded MS67. One of these days I'll crack it out and see what PCGS says, more like a 63 or 64 I bet... IF I'm lucky!

There must've been something REALLY wrong with that dollar to have it only get MS67

And every coin sells for 15-20% more than it should because of the cheesy case. I've been watching this guy for quite some time.

I could agree that this stuff is OK because grading is "subjective" if the person didn't list a price trend based on real TPG graded coins!
