  The reverse is a 66 easy but I think that action on Ben's cheek will limit the overall grade to 64FBL.

  Only if the grader(s) got really lucky the night before.
  
  I'd agree with GC with regards to grading.
  
  One basic heads up with regards to grading Franklins. Sometimes a coin with multiple nicks, dings etc. will get a 1 or 2 point bump for nice color. Being white your coin won't get that bump.

  The coin was a serious Gem when it came off the dies. There should be a way to include this in the grade.
  
  I'm guessing it'll go MS-64 FBL (somebody should give it a star).
