    I'd call it a technical 65 for the hits. The fields and the rest of the cheek as well as the reverse are clean enough to keep it at a 65. I think it got a grade bump for color to 66.

    I completely agree. Assign the actual grade and let the market price it. That simple.

    Agreed, as the distractions show up well on both sets of photos. Just too much to push the coin over the ms65 hump imo. Nice coin, all the same.

    I agree completely with jtlee321. The cheek hit should keep it at MS 65 but the color gets it back to MS 66.

    IMHO the color is not real, but the services have all but given up discerning this.
    The coin has hits, but a really nice field in front of Ms Liberty, the grader has less than a minute to decide.
    So, MS 67

    MS64. Too much "chatter" under the toning. Still a very nice coin.

    I am guessing the grade assigned my opinion on an accurate grade is MS 64One minute to grade the coin maximum time allowed. Looks at cheek and fields in front of Ms Liberty, color is distracting the flaws. Dreck

    My first thought was 66, but those reed hits over the head probably make it 65.

    Think the gouge is a strike through small wood chip which may not affect the grade but can effect the desireability of it either direction.

    I know the coin so won’t give a grade

    Here is the TruView from the 67.

    If you zoom in under the “U” of Pluribus, are those hits from the reeding of another coin (when it was in a bag)? Or is it some type of strike through?

  • Options

    Although I’m not sure which grade is correct, I would disagree with the AT sentiment. It looks NT/MA to me and similar to other straight graded examples.

    wow... I said 64 because of the cheek hit and the digs under the "U" in E PLURIBUS. Maybe the grader gave more weight to the reverse of this coin which is free of major distractions...

    Would you sign your name to that slab being the grader? Maybe not
