    I think it looks horrible (for an ms67).

    No nick on the cheek! It's on the plastic.

    My interpretation of the images makes me think I would dislike this coin, especially at the grade of MS67.

    Wild yes.

    Too dark for a star...

    On NGC's site it states something like Dark brown or Black toning will negate the Star.

    to lazy to look up the exact wording...

    Crazy toning - Looks like a bullet hole in the back of the head.

    Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate how some would go for it.

    Thanks for posting!

    I believe it is because Dark Brown and Black can start to or have started to affect the metal of the coin.

    Black and Dark Brown can be considered to Negatively effect the overall eye appeal and the star is for Exceptional Eye Appeal. Not PQ for the grade like what CAC stickers are for.
