    I see two big hits on the obverse. Nice color though. Are you happy with the coin as a 67?

    Edit for spelling.

    Very nice coin Utah, is it a SMS? It sure looks like it.

    Since I got the whole SMS set for $6 and had a free grading certificate, yeah, I'm pleased. The photograph makes that hit look 100 times worse than it is in hand.

    Looks nice and I agree that in hand and even with a 5X loop those hits will be extremely small......too many folks try to micrograde off of large images. That's great if you are trying to send in the cream of the crop to a grading service because you will get back some nice surprises but for toned coins.....it's not the most important factor.

    I'm not a Roosevelt fan, but that's one pretty coin.

    I do not want to have a NGC versus PCGS deal here but from my submission results for roosevelts the two hits would more than likely get a 66 grade at PCGS. The color would probably have nothing to do with the grade on this coin. Then again I have never submitted a roosevelt that was minted after 1962.

    Happiness is what counts.

    I don't care what anybody says about any darned grade, it's exquisite color. Congrats!

    MAN, thats some purty color on that clad.
    Is the reverse as nicely toned?
    What about the rest of the set?

    Regards,

    John
    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
