Edit: Just received the coin. It's the prettiest reverse I've ever owned. Absolutely jumping with color and the fields are flawless. The obverse has more color than the pic indicates...there's a crescent of purple-red from 4-8 o'clock.
The best part, which I can say now that it's in hand, $20.10 total cost.
It is in a 67RB ANACS holder.

They look to be. I don't have the coin in hand yet though.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
3 carbon spots on the reverse? Gimme a break, you'll barely be able to see them in person, those are miniscule.
I would be more concerned with the anomolies in the obverse field that don't show up well in the photos...looks like something in the field between the nose and the last 'T' in trust, also something above the 'B' in liberty. These may be artifacts from the slab, but they may also be on the coin. They are in the darker part of the photo.
Anyway, you are always going to find things on any coin, that's why they're not all graded MS70
Nice pickup!

Love the reverse colors on this one.
Congratulations.

Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
<< <i>Good grief! Those fields are flawless. That thing looks like a 68! >>
I hope it is as clean as the pics indicate. I think the strike is a bit weak for a PCGS 67 but a pretty coin like this I could care less between 66/67.
not to take away from your coin, but this is graded 67RB by PCGS. The reverse strike is pretty flat on the 'O' in one, and 'E PL' as well.

Yeah, mine is definitely not as well struck as yours is on the reverse. I suspect the luster would be what determines whether yours goes into a PCGS 67 holder or not, as long as the photo is not 'hiding' anything.

Hope those carbon spots aren't detracting.

In hand they are barely noticeable.
