66. But I'd rather have that toning on the obverse.

 

Me too, im just glad i could afford this one.. the prices on these have gotten ridiculous no matter what side the toning resides... im also glad they didnt holder this one backwards.. i hate when they do that.. i guess im OCD

 

I'm going with -65. Is the upper right reverse a darker toning? Hard to tell on my phone.

 

65 here too

 

Its like a navy blue color... but its probaby not your phone.. its my horrible lighting setup as to why the colors are off

 

66

 

66+

 

I have fair luck using an Ott light. Helps see the luster. But don't think I've tried it on nice toners. And I have some dandys! Just not planning on selling them anytime soon! Lol

 

64

 

64+/65

I like the subtle arc shape, not as acutely crescent I guess I'd say.

 

Hard to tell since the pictures all seem to be angled to show the toning versus the luster and bag marks. I am in the 64 to 65 range on it - very nice coin.

Without further delay.....

Physics man 3.14.... good eye sir! Congrats....You are the champion!!

 

Why do your final pictures show more of the defects on the coin than the originals posted?

 

I would guess because the lighting is different... is that not ok? Did i violate some hidden gtg rule? Or is it because you missed it by more than 2 grades and everyone else was close???
