I went with 67 5FS because it looks like a 66 to me

Type2

I'll go with MS66-FS Nice coin. I just dont know about the hit on the steps if that keept it back from FS hard to tell by the pic...

I said 66 FS, but a 67 FS wouldn't be a shocker. Very nice coin.

I voted 66 no FS. The bottom step is incomplete and the nick on the steps on the right side keeps it from 5FS. Just a guess, as I don't know much about this series.

Thread has been dormant for more than 24 hours. NGC did not recognize 5FS until 2/16/2004. Until then, NGC used the FS designation which required the coin to have 6 full steps to qualify. This coin resides in a generation 3 NGC holder circa 1987-88. Therefore, the coin could not have been graded with a 5FS designation despite the fact that is does have 5 full steps. I don't know who the three guys are who guessed MS65, but they were right.



For the record, I think this coin belongs in an MS66 5FS holder and it would not seem out of place in an NGC MS67 5FS holder. I paid $12 for this coin in February of 2008.
