    Looks to be MS 66 to me.

    Looks pretty, but hard to tell if there are any hairlines or minor defects.
    I'm guessing that is not really a slight rim bump on the obv ~5 o'clock.
    Good luck with it!

    Nice coin and I like the toning. Hard to tell from the images, but they usually want stronger luster for 66, 67.

    You need the right kind of luster and toning too. Looks like there is something going on with the eagles right leg? It does look like a nice coin.

    On the new pics I see some stuff on the face area too and those die polish lines behind the head probably don't help either.

    do die polish lines distract on grade?
    i wrote this off to being purely a luster issue...not enough luster for loftier grade

    if i recall right...this toning on ms washington's always got blessed

    The coin lacks luster. Like stated somewhere else on the forum, most 20th century silver must earn lofty grades through high eye appeal. With a quick scan on Heritage it seems that this date comes with full mint bloom - although I can't recall a single Washington datemm that doesn't come like that.

    Good looking coin. I particularly like the obverse. VERY sweet pickup for $15.

    Don't let the grade take away from the fun you are having. It's a neat coin.
