@jfriedm56 are these lines on the holder or the coin. I'm thinking holder but the dont show up on the top of the T so it could be the coin. I just wanted to double check with you.

My guess is that the lines are on the coin but that they’re due to mint-made die polishing. And I’ll go with MS66 for the grade.

@Mfeld I'm inclined to agree with you. I just found them interesting. I did not mean anything negative with my question. I happen to like some polish lines.
I'm going with MS65.

Yes. On the coin. Can’t speculate as to the cause, but the picture accentuates the lines more noticeably than in hand. And by the way, it’s not a T, but a dash-.

And @MFeld, this time I’m not going to say great guesses everyone, but looks like we have some good guesses? LOL.
I hope no one is too upset that their guesses weren’t deemed to be “great”. 😄

Almost looks like toning marks there at S - OF. But ... ???
If those aren't a grade limiter, it's probably a 65 or maybe 66, with nice luster. There are some hits, a couple large and noticeable (at least to this eye).

Love the coin. I believe the black lengthy scuff looking mark to the left of right facing wing and spot on star would prevent a 66. JMO

Enjoy reading your comments, but some of you may be overthinking the end result. Will post grade later tonight. Just to say, it’s a nice looking Commem. and I believe accurately graded.
