Here are a couple of images of a NEWP and A big thank you to @robec for the images!

I would be interested in what the forum thinks of her.

    Gem, and gorgeous!

    I'd think it might be a 66, maybe a plus, looks FB except for a tiny speck near the dead center, which may just be toning throwing me off

    64 to 65 depending on how much it pops in had or if you had to light up dark toning. Nice coin... gun to my head 65

    Unless there are relevant flaws not visible in the images and/or the luster is lacking, the coin looks MS66FB, at a minimum.

    As the toning cover's the neck pretty much, I will guess 66FB, but may go 67FB if no chatter on neck. Beautiful coin, regardless.

    My apologies for the delay in posting the grade. I wish that I had an image of the slab with me at work to reveal. I will when I get to the house.

    You are in good company from the aforementioned comments. Quite possibly undergraded.

    You have to send that one in, no way that’s a 63. But now I’ll head over to photograde to try and compare the wear on the devices. Maybe it is but I seriously doubt it. But what if it pops 1 1/2 points but loses FB...

    Hmmm, I'm guessing the luster isn't quite as good in hand as it appears in the images.
