Based on your last submission, I'll guess MS66 5FS
Okay, honestly, based on your photos, it has the marks of a 64 on the obverse but the luster and exceptional reverse could carry it to an MS65, especially if you submit ATS. I do not think the steps are quite clear enough to get the FS designation, they look incomplete on the far left side under the first pillar and then again between steps 3 and 4 under the second pillar.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

my opinion is that it will get graded MS65FS although that is not the grade i would assign to the coin based on the pictures provided. i can say this much, i certainly hope that this series isn't getting graded based at least in part on sentiment such as "The 61-P has to be one of the tougher dates to find with full steps" because that would spell bad news for collectors. you're all probably tired of hearing my broken record reasoning, but this is why i sold my MS coins and focused instead on Proof issues.

I'll say MS65 all day.

doubt it will get designated full step, worth a shot though. Looks 64-65. Nice coin.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

MS64 no FS - there is a huge tick that spans several steps.
