    I saw this in a dealer's case a couple days ago and I just got around to imaging it. I wanted to get your guys' opinion on what you think something like this would grade. It's a clear cut full split bands specimen. I'm just curious if it would be worth the coin to get it graded. If it grades lower than a 66, it wouldn't be worth sending it out. Thanks for your input!

    Hard to tell. Might go 66 but you need 67 to make it worth grading.

    You're at the point where pictures are unlikely to help.
    This coin has to be looked at in hand.

    Honestly its a shot in the dark, photos are unlikely to help, like Kanga said, and the difference between 65 and 66 is so small.

    It is extremely tough to gauge from these photos. I'll try to image some that aren't so dark. From what I can see through a scope, there are no bag marks, chatter, etc. This thing is about near flawless.

    Beautiful coin , probably in the 65-66 class , but like everyone said , you need to see her in hand . Or a way better pic to make that call .

    66 or 67 FB.

    I can't see a 65 unless there's something I'm not seeing in the photos.
