I hope I am not stepping on anyone's toes here, but I had this coin listed in my advance notice email sent out to clients after the last Baltimore show and sold the coin to bestclser1. I was able to inspect it at length in-hand before the sale. My opinion is that this coin is graded correctly, though high end for the grade, and that at least part of the reason many folks might think it undergraded is because so many other coins are graded incorrectly.

The coin looks to me to exceed MS65. What's holding it back?
