  Always hard to grade from a image...
  
  This one appears to have the fields of a ms66......
  
  Not really sure if I'm seeing something on Frankies cheek......
  
  It also appears that the Bell Lines are broke and incomplete due to a hit on them....
  
  This is a pretty coin..... You have it in hand....
  
  A 53P even in a ms65fbl is a very nice score......
  
  it seems to be a lock ms65, if it is FBL, send it in....

  Will go MS65, 66 on a good day! Sorry, it will not make FBL, complete break!

  Those more expert than I on these have spoken...so pardon me while I pee in the punch bowl. I don't think it will make 66 @ either service.

  I think the coin will go MS66. It has "the look" PCGS usually gives a little bump for.

  I would say MS65 because of the cheek. Might get bumped to MS66 because of the color and luster. 1953 is a underrated date. IMO

  It looks like, to me, what people are seeing in the cheek isn't chatter but rather incompleteness of strike. I do see some hits on the Liberty Bell as well, as well as some other miscellaneous stuff. To me, I'd say that coin is a 64 if it's white, but maybe a liner 64/65 because of the color and it probably gets the bump at either service to a 65 if they grade it before 10 a.m. on a Tuesday
