    Clean cheek, nice luster, good color ... a little ticky on the reverse, but yeah, put me down for 66 too

    When I saw your post I immediately assumed I'd have to choose between 67+ and 68😅 Kidding aside, beautiful coin. I think it gets a color bump to 66+.

    Dang! Yes, I can imagine you kind of like this one! Of all the folks who have been around here forever I am likely the one who grades them the least (and therefore the worst!). I'll go with MS67.

    66 was my first thought... the reverse chatter possibly keeps it to 65.

    I didn't get a chance to give my opinion but I was going to go with MS66+ until I saw the reveal. I think it got a bump for the beautiful color.

    I actually grade it a 66 myself.

    I don't get a plaudit for my 66+? :'(

    I probably would have guessed MS67. And though I didn’t think it should grade higher than that, I considered the possibility that it was.

    I would have said 65. My initial reaction was 63, but I am definitely one of the worst graders around.

    I was in Marks camp, then said 66+ of course easy to do after it posted, but I graded it before I read the grade.

    Super nice for a 66+
