Really it's a low end 66 without even the bump. Obverse marking is the big problem and a little strike weakness on the reverse is secondary. It appears to be a mint set coin and is not easily improvable. It's in about the top 99.5 %ile.
I don't even want to try and guess the grade on this one, my question is, how does a 1981 clad composition coin from Denver acquire this type of toning?

Only problem is that most of the graders seen to believe in the progressive pattern of toning when it is caused by natural causes. Sunnywood did a thread on it a while back that was very informative.
I think its nice looking but also find it hard to believe a 1981 coin can get that kinda toning without help. Without the toning issue I would say MS66.
i've seen those subtle pastels in this era of coinage...holdered this one's pastels are in moose range...to me any ol hoot one of those "i'm too sexy for most graders" coins...envy? maybe a lil share the wealth type of thing could be they want to see it a few times before it get's squirreled away...not many get to hold such a beauty in the raw...lucky graders many a coin goes from genuine to grade
that is one of the prettiest kennedy's i've seen in pastel style of toning

...assuming it got the bump for color.

It was PCI MS66 (I think?). I'm hoping it is still PCGS MS66.
