67 but under magnification i think i see an omega sign This looks just like the 67 smoe other guy is trying to pass as a real one over on the open forum.

I'll say 66, and that Mike Printz needs to use different software to resize his pictures. He's getting linear interpolation artifacts when he shrinks them down. My guess is that he's using a free Microsoft program.
Rim dings on the lower reverse automatically make it AU, plus wear on Liberty's knee and nose, couple hits on Liberty's chest, weak strike on the obverse left ray's.

Geez, I thought the picture looked damn good. Anyway, I'll say 65 or 66.

It's a high end MS66...the pic does it no justice because actually the coin is quite satiny, but it looks granular. Again, these coins are really tough to photo. Mike took this one about 5 times to get this.
There is NO rub, hits or lustre abrasions on the coin. It's one of my favorites.

It is new. I had an opportunity to swap my MS65 at a very reasonable spread so I did it. I had received more than I expected from my common dates. I AM taking a long break....

Why yes, John he did. It was in a rattler and he said he would try to get it upgraded for me. Although it didn't upgrade it sure looked more colorful when I got it back. MOC did his best..
67. How could this really be any nicer. A wonderful gem. Saints just don't come much nicer...and an 08-s. I can see why it's one of your favs. Seems destined for a higher holder someday.

I still have no idea when it comes to these.

Luster is amazing.
You haunt me with your examples of grade the saint.
Sweet coin! (67)
