I say it stands a very good chance of slipping by for that 66FS as the nose and chin are usually dinged on these. The hits you mentioned and the lite rim chatter would hold it back from 67 IMO.
Has it been established yet if the P mint or D mint is more harder to find in higher grade? I pulled a sweet P mint in change today that im gonna send in on my next submission.
Let me ask you, do the surfaces of your coin look satiny?
Here is a coin with smoother mirror-like fields with no satiny affect whatsoever. Does your coin look similar?
I've been raising this question if a distintion can be made between a SF and business strike in a couple of other threads, It doesn't make any sense to collect the business strike/circulating coin when it's surfaces look similar to that of a satin finish coin.
By the way, nice photography!

The P mint coin i found today is has mirror like fields and is far from looking like a satin finish.

Hi Donald
While it's possible for coins dated from 2005 to 2010 will eventually lose their satin finish look, it's likely your coin is a LDS example of the mint set SF coins.

Thanks for looking. Here are the steps, Yes it looks a bit satiny this may be true that they are useing old satin dies. But I did find one or two that have a proof look to them. I sent them out for gradeing or I would post a pic of them. The dates of the box's I'am looking at are dated in Jun 28 / July 06, 2010.
It seems as thought the chatter I normally see on 65FS coins is not on your coin, so... sure, it should be a lock 66FS for you. Now that I've said that, it'll probably 65.
Peace,
Steve

they are really hard to find, and it may just be a 66. Let us know what you decide to do.
