Any chance this would go MS67

Yes.

If nothing else, I think the haziness in the toning will hold the grade back. It partly depends on how booming the lustre is, but I vote no.

I don't thinks so, IMHO !!!

Unable to tell from pictures but the coin looks nice.

From those pics it looks like that "woman" has something to hide, if you catch my drift.

Nice coin though.

awesome coin, regardless.

The obverse looks easy 67, but the reverse does not.

It's a nice coin.

I think it has the luster, surfaces, and originality, and the freedom from contact marks necessary for 67. However, the mushy strike above the date and in the shield might keep it at MS66 or even MS65. I have no idea whether these are found well-struck or not, but this one is not fully struck.

67 seems quite possible. Can't see it lower than a 66. If it were a Merc dime how would it grade?

If PCGS won't give it a 67, NGC probably will. They are not as fussy about blast, preferring clean, original, and attractive surfaces.
Dipping this to get more blast is dumb imo. Eventually the tide will swing the other way.

Always necessary to view coin in hand ... but just by the photos it look as though the coin would be more likely to grade MS67 than not.. Not withstanding the grading service of your choice, I have many PCGS foreign slabs that go for flash over strike....

Looks very nice. I think it has a shot.

Haha. You got me to scroll back. She is definitely packing something. Maybe her chewing tobacco.

It needs a bath. That might reveal better luster which might lead to your best chance of a 67?

crazyhounddog

I think it boils down to how booming the luster is. The rest of the coin looks swell!

So far majority of you don't think this would go 67, but here is the graded MS66 for comparison.

georgiacop50

Quite a dramatic difference. The first just blows the 66 out of the water!

I see the same weakness in both coins the inscription on the banner is not all there.

I have seen many samples of this date (1937-1945) and you are right, practically reverse shows the lack of detail on the commonwealth issues,
and thus create the same problems of grading.
