Your last image appears to show the grade only partially obscured on the insert.

I thought higher grade until I viewed the reverse under AMERICA. Can't tell for sure, but if scratches then 65. Closeup would be nice of that area. Nice coin regardless.

My guess is that PCGS said MS67RD, I think it could be a plus candidate in todays grading room.

I was in the 66rd camp untill I got to the rev pic. I’m going to buck the trend and say 65 red

67 and should plus for luster but the spot. Pics are blurry so I'm stuck at 66+.
I say 66 RD
Which spot are you referring to?
Well many of you guessed correctly and most were very close. MS 67 RD
As usual I was way off. But I did get the color designation correct 😀
Nice coin
Martin
I had to say 63 just in case all those 66 and 67 were wrong.

Late to the thread but I was going to guess 67. Tiniest Nick on cheek. Clean fields. Very nice!

Late to the game (again)... But my first thought when I saw the cent was 67... and of course RD.
Nice cent for sure. Cheers, RickO
The second image pushed my initial 66 to a 67

WOW.
The coin looks like it just came off the press today.
I really like how clean the fields are on the obverse.

I guessed 66 red. Excellent coin!

I like the holder, stable red at this point.

Yes, it shows that the coin was not messed with prior to slabbing, but improper storage in the future could still impact the coin.

I was tempted to say 7R but I guessed 6R. Still, nice coin.

Thanks for the feedback
Yes the obverse I can’t see really any flaws so clean. I virtually need a magnifying glass to see a minute chatter in right obverse field, and reverse is also very clean. My only critique is the reverse is slightly soft struck
