Guess the Grade-1967 SMS

This is one I'm a little puzzled over so I thought I'd see what you come up. This is graded by NGC.

Ms-66rd

 

I will go with 64. Those nicks on the beard, field, and collar hurt it.

 

I'll post the grade tomorrow night, 5 Septemember.

 

TPG's love luster and most of these are glowing.

SP-66

 

66

 

I go with, "Why would anyone want to encapsulate this coin?"

 

I'd have to say MS64. All those small nicks and bits affect it imo.

 

nobody's said MS-65 so Ill go w/that (but really looks 66)

 

Said I would wait until tonight, but I think I'm going to go ahead and end this since I may be going out of town. Any more guessers?

 

Since I did not slab it, I don't know. Maybe they thought it would hit that magical top-pop number.

 

This one really surprised me two ways. I agree whole-heartedly with RLM on a 64 given those marks in the prime areas. I've been picking up cheap slabs(for a buck or so usually) in order to have some grading references in hand that I can go by. When I go this one the 66 surprised me after viewing the coin up close and I was equally surprised by the RB designation. My photos are white balanced in Photoshop, so what you see is pretty accurate. Where's the brown?

 

I guess i,am a little late on this one but i would have said 66...LOL

 

Luster, that's what the TPG's like. There's a tinge of some darker red toning, that's where the "brown" is.
