What say ye experts?
No one was even close! PCGS Rattler:
Added 9/30: Coinguy1 was kind enough to take the time to do a review of my 49 of the 50 piece "mostly rattlers" collection, and this coin received the "A' grade, plus it was considered to be undergraded at the 63 level. The plans for this one is to go into the rattler set, and hopefully, get a coveted gold bean sometime down the road.
There are a few ticks on the coin, but I went for the subtle color.
I think that at the time this was graded, being one of the more common commems, it just did not get a lot of attention from the submitter or squaking about being graded too low, as it was likely not worth the effort.
Thanks again to Mark and Todd for there help with this thread!

You clearly weren't talking to me...but I'll say 66.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
That said, there aren't a lot of MS67's around, so odds are that the coin grades lower than that.

Must be one of the 67's.

<< <i>Ya, 7 or even 8 very nice. No hit's and nice strike.
Actually, I see 2 hits, both on the bear's right (viewer's left) front leg. Start next to the E in WE and go towards 2:00 to find the other.

Too bad there is no such thing as AU66.

<< <i>It is so tough to grade from a picture. Some people are good at it but not me. I need the coin in hand. >>
After reviewing the posted grade, this is a good example of how it is sometimes impossible to grade from a photo. Some of the best graders in the business weren't even close from the photo. We should remember this next time someone posts a 68 that looks like a 63. It can go both ways. As I keep repeating, the professional grader with the coin in hand has a big advantage over the internet grader looking at one set of pictures. --Jerry
Claychaser, please feel free to post my in-hand assessment of the coin - whether I thought it was an A, B or C and/or under-graded. And thanks for a fun thread.

<< <i>Could the coin be an undergraded 65 or 66? >>
I don't remember what I graded it, but definitely not 66, and maybe not 65 (or even 64).

<< <i>I had viewed a number of the OP's coins very recently. So, when I posted my MS67 grade guess, I did so, thinking I had probably seen the coin in question, and that it graded much lower than that. But, I tried to put that aside, and guess, based just on the images provided. The coin looks great in the images, but for whatever reason, not nearly as good in hand.
