    Beautiful coin, although I don't think it's FS- there is a minor dent on the bottom step.
    I guessed MS66.

    I chose 67 thinking the facial issues are planchet flaws, and just misses FS.
    Nice coin.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Based on the absolutely ridiculous grading I've seen from the TPG's concerning high point pitting and Jeffersons, I really don't see any reason why this coin doesn't grade MS-69 FS.

    Compared to your recent GTGs, I honestly think this is in consideration for MS-68 at least.

    You've shown us 67's that I thought should be 64. Based on that scale, let's all throw darts at a whale and see where they land?

    That was funny, but you didn’t give us your grade. Btw, speaking of whales, I’m currently reading Moby Dick.

    Also, I refer to the 50-D as my “white whale” because I have had at least 6 different coins represent that slot in my registry collection. I just can’t find one that meets all of my standards.

    I voted for 66FS, which appears to have the plurality of votes so far...ahhh, safety in numbers.

    MS 66 5FS Would have said FS but don't know if it's just a shadow blocking the bottom step.

    66 5fs
    The fields look clean, I don’t see any major hits, and there appear to be 5 steps (at least based on the prior examples you’ve posted).

    Aren't all 6 steps required for FS designation ?

    NGC denotes 5 or 6 (5fs or 6fs).

    I didn't realize that option was up there. I thought it was just FS not 5 FS.
    My bad. I think i could see it getting 5 FS, not quite all 6 steps.
    MS67- 5-FS. then.

    PCGS uses FS which only needs five full steps. NGC designates both 5FS and 6FS.

    There is a reason I used 5FS in the poll.
