    << <i>pcgs ms66, ngc ms67. It may not have the luster to get higher than ms66 at pcgs. >>

    I agree.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Spot on. I do wonder if that one hit in the reverse field below UNUM held it to a 65.

    MS65 .... Strike is not crisp, some dings... maybe even 64. Cheers, RickO

    66 obverse. 65 reverse.
    Nasty hit on the steps.
    Net 65
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

    Well since your a NGC guy I'm gonna say 66+ if the luster is good.

    I already voted 65+ but looking closer at the die polish on the reverse below "UNUM" it would not surprise me if NGC blew it and gave it a Details Purple People Eat-ter Label,

    I have had several coins over the past year that had die polish mistaken for a rub or cleaning......when in fact it is die polish.

    Not a tough coin, so I think PCGS would be nice to you and give it a MS66. If that is an MS65, I would love all my coins to look just like it!

    I am torn between 66 and 67. Very clean for a Jefferson, but the luster doesn't look 67 to me. I know your photos can capture luster so i guessed 66+. Allcoinsrule is pretty much spot on.

    Not my photos, those are the Heritage photos. I will post my photos in this thread when I get it. And you are right, allcoinsrule is spot on on both of his comments.

    65. It has a little too much to be a 66. To me, a 67 is almost perfect and a 66 is a 67 but with like one or two small flaws.

    my thought was 66 pcgs / 67 ngc.

    This is one of the best 1959-D's that I have seen and I think it would have a good shot at MS66+. The luster is satin but should not preclude a higher grade.

    I was going to vote 64, but alas, it's not an option.

    The flaws on this coin are so small, they are almost undetectable to the naked eye.
