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

    Nice one Eldo'

    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+.

    My guess is 65+, gorgeous coin!

  • TomBTomB Posts: 22,716 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.

    Very attractive coin. 66. Anyone could see why you liked it.

  • MeltdownMeltdown Posts: 9,107 ✭✭✭✭✭

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

    66+ or 67.

  • Morgan13Morgan13 Posts: 2,176 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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.

    Very nice coin!

  • marcmoishmarcmoish Posts: 6,852 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Beautiful example I missed this one too, I would have said 66, I am wondering if this one beaned?

    I actually grade it a 66 myself.

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

    Sorry Lermish! You did indeed guess correctly! I've added you to the hall of Fame!

  • MFeldMFeld Posts: 16,082 ✭✭✭✭✭

    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+
