Clear fields, strong strike, and great red coin. The safe bet would be 66 but I think it has the shot at a 67.
Chickened out at the last second and went 66 . PCGS is tough but this coin deserves at least a 66+ or 67 .
Hey! My polls are still here. I realize they are a bit hard to find, but here is this one. This and http://www.cointalk.com/threads/guess-the-grade-525.230072/ will be closing tonight!
It has a real nice strike, great luster, and only a couple tiny nicks. The darker areas (for instance in front of the chin) are shine rather than true spots. I would give this on at least a 66+ and maybe even a 67. Somehow PCGS only saw fit to give it a 66 and this was , to the best of my knowledge, grade since the advent of +'s in grading.
